India’s “UPI moment” in AI is imminent, and policymakers and business leaders agreed that a comprehensive AI stack constructed as a digital public infrastructure (DPI) will help make AI accessible to the general population. Speaking to media, experts urged lawmakers to enact laws that would uphold responsibility and trust without impeding creativity. They stated that although worries about job displacement persisted, entrepreneurship and education may be a way to counteract this.
“We need to, at some point, think of developing a full AI stack as a DPI. I think then we can see a real proliferation of AI to the end users in India,” said Rajendra Kumar, secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in charge of border management. He pointed out that without having to worry about creating their own computing infrastructure or training their own models, such a model would enable both government agencies and entrepreneurs to create use cases and deliver apps more quickly.
Yotta Infrastructure founders and CEO Sunil Gupta agreed: “We are all waiting for the UPI (unified payments interface) moment to happen in AI now. All the enabling factors in India are there.”
He drew attention to the fact that India offers academics and businesses inexpensive and plentiful graphics processing unit (GPU) infrastructure for model training and “inferencing wave” creation. An AI model uses inference to solve a problem or make a prediction based on the data it was trained on.
