I have been thinking deeply about building powerful AI systems, which are also safer for our society. I am becoming more convinced that we need more realistic AI sandboxes at scale, which still bounded by legal and physical boundaries, like an AI city. This will become even more important in coming years as we will automate 30-40% of the workflows with AI. We need to monitor, model and regulate the change more carefully. Recently wrote an opinion in NDTV regarding the same.

How 'intelligent' is AI? How about emergent capabilities and scaling laws? Cost of LLM access is dropping but is RoI truly being achieved at enterprise use case level? The world of AI is pondering over important questions to differentiate reality from hype. Looking forward to this book from @Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor to tackle some of these important questions. For a peek into the intro part and main arguments of the book, refer to this link - https://lnkd.in/e98-cHyX (They also have a great Substack)

We live more on a URL than in IRL. We have a duty as a digital citizen. On a recent podcast, Manoj Deshpande Neha Deshpande and I discussed digital civics - the rights and duties of a digital citizen, with a strong focus on good behavior and responsibilities. That discussion was all about extracting good civic behaviors from everyday life like being good to your neighbors, keeping your vicinity clean, showing respect, etc., and drawing a parallel to behavior on the internet. But the nature of the internet itself requires a new framework that looks at all the nuances of chatting and sharing, gaming, phone use, scams, misinformation, etc. To address that, I've extended a new psychological framework loosely based on original work done by Estelle Clements https://lnkd.in/dSx2qUzu

The Future of AI in India: A Visionary Conversation between Jensen Huang & Mukesh Ambani at NVIDIA AI Summit 2024 In an inspiring conversation at the #NVIDIAAISummit2024, two visionary leaders, Jensen Huang (CEO of NVIDIA) and Mukesh Ambani (CMD of Reliance Industries), discussed the monumental role that artificial intelligence (AI) will play in shaping the future of India. Key Talks: 1. India’s Potential as a Global AI Hub Mukesh Ambani highlighted India’s demographic advantage, with its large, youthful population and growing technological capabilities. Both leaders agreed that India is uniquely positioned to lead in AI innovation, driven by a talented workforce, entrepreneurial spirit, and strong leadership. 2. Building AI Infrastructure The collaboration between NVIDIA and Reliance focuses on developing AI infrastructure across India. With India’s vast data potential, the emphasis is on creating indigenous AI solutions. As Mukesh Ambani put it, “We should produce AI rather than import it,” a vision that aligns with India’s broader goal of enhancing self-reliance in cutting-edge technologies. 3. Democratizing AI for All Both leaders stressed the importance of making AI accessible to everyone. AI’s potential to enhance prosperity and reduce inequality was a major theme. Ambani shared how Reliance is committed to empowering every citizen with AI tools, bringing intelligence to all corners of the country and ensuring no one is left behind in the AI revolution. 4. Green Power & Sustainable Infrastructure Mukesh Ambani also emphasized Reliance’s commitment to sustainability. The infrastructure being built for AI will be powered by green energy, aligning with India's goals for a sustainable future while scaling digital capabilities. 5. The Role of Open Source AI Both leaders acknowledged the importance of open-source AI platforms like Llama 3, enabling global participation in AI development. This reflects a commitment to inclusivity, ensuring that AI technology is not just reserved for the tech elite but is available for all. A New Dawn for India’s AI Journey This collaboration represents a critical step in making India a leader in AI, with immense potential to uplift industries and individuals. As AI continues to evolve, India stands at the cusp of an AI-powered transformation.

Well said, Pramod Varma: “Designing what works at scale is very different from trying to scale something that works" A typically geeky way of articulating what we entrepreneurs face while moving from startup to scale-up. #startup #scaleup #entrepreneurship #digitalpublicinfrastructure #DPI #innovation #opendata #openbanking #openfinance

The article (with this post), a vision really, is a direct attribution to the work that has gone in to create Project Indus, ground-up and in house over the past year at Tech Mahindra Makers Lab. In the process of the LLM creation's first phase, to have gone through so engagingly in terms of data collection, creation and annotation and curation for all Hindi dialects (37) has been insightful and has made us appreciate the language and dialect nuances even more. It connects directly to the point of India being a diverse language speaking country and communication made easier across the languages to connect by bridging the digital divide will be very important – and now with Project Indus, possible too. To the other point of collaborating and creating, with partners. Looking at Project Indus as part of a three body series, where the LLM is the first body, TechM’s partners (Dell and Intel) on whose processors and infra Project Indus was trained and inferenced on (as the second body) and the third body, for the governance guard rails (IBM) present a unique solution which is present today in the Indian(and global) AI Innovation landscape. Sahabat.AI, a sovereign LLM that Tech Mahindra is creating along with its partners Indosat Oredoo Hutchison (IoH) and chip giant Nvidia is a testimony to that. And also to the fact that while Project Indus was largely created to be open source (by Indians for Indians), Sahabat.AI is being created for Indonesia (in Bahasa) as a revenue model. Another significant facet is where the article talks about National AI Strategy, Digital India and National Data Protection Bill. In the process of model building (again, done completely in-house), due care was taken to ensure that bias detection (by creating a model that helps remove biases and building that in Project Indus) was done, data collected was carefully curated and cleaned even before it reached the bias detection model sweep and the LLM does adhere to the mandate, vision and governance that the National AI Strategy and Digital India have outlined. The research backed initiative that has been Project Indus has been a focal point, a tipping point even and the journey in creating the same all through the last 12-15 months has been a learning experience, to enable and solve use cases across the sectors of agriculture, health science, farming and many more. Nikhil Malhotra Nikhil’s article is a very comprehensive one, it is a vision that has been actioned upon, to affect the Indian and global AI innovation landscape, positively. We look forward to exciting times ahead as the Indian AI juggernaut rolls on, for purposeful outcomes. https://lnkd.in/gisQ5ghK Tech Mahindra #AI #Innovation #ScaleatSpeed #LLM #MakersLab Kanchan Bhonde (Keskar) Nilesh Brahme Shreenivas Chetlapalli Rahul Marathe Rama Koya Saket Apte Mehrose Sheikh Atul Tripathi Aftab Mohd Akash Saxena Hemang Mohan Varsha Gaikwad Prajakta Sadgir

Thanks to Datanami for sharing my thoughts. Gen AI is amazing, and we are in the golden age of AI development. For AI to be adopted by the masses, we need a robust way to identify and mitigate risks. A lot of work is being done through the open-source community and leading tech providers around AI safety. With regulations coming in, there is optimism for a responsible AI future.
