India must develop sovereign AI, says IBM chief Krishna

NEW DELHI: IBM Chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna said India must develop sovereign artificial intelligence (AI) capability and look at setting up a national AI computing centre. This centre should be in line with the global trend of increased investments in computing infrastructure due to rapid technological advancements.

“We had a very good discussion with Rajeev Chandrasekhar (the Minister of State for IT and electronics). I am a firm believer that every country ought to have some sovereign capability on artificial intelligence, including large language models, and generative AI,” Krishna said in an interaction with journalists on August 28.
