For #AsiaInsideOut, @faamer speaks with @AnirudhSuri about India's evolving AI strategy, its pursuit of technological sovereignty, and how middle powers can collaborate to advance shared AI goals. Watch here: piped.video/EUyqbpeXHMc?si=qbq0…

Thanks to @AsiaPolicy for having me on #AsiaInsideOut for a great chat with @faamer. A few things I shared: - India's biggest bottlenecks in Al aren't chips or power. It's not having enough skilled people, data, and research. - Countries like India could focus on smaller, domain-specific models like ones for healthcare, while the US and China build the big, general models. - My take is, success in 5 years won't be about having one super AI model. It'll be about whether India gets companies, colleges, startups, and the government all working together to drive truly innovative R&D Watch the full conversation: piped.video/EUyqbpeXHMc
