New Delhi [India], December 09:<\/strong> At the ongoing Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) Summit 2024 in Belgrade, Serbia, Shashi Shekhar Vempati, Co-Founder of the DeepTech for Bharat Foundation (AI4India.org) and former CEO of Prasar Bharati, delivered a compelling address on the transformative power of AI in emerging economies along with co-panel members Milan Bosnic, Laurence Lew, Marco Cadez.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Participating in a panel discussion on \u201cAI\u2019s Impact on Emerging Economies<\/strong>,\u201d Vempati underscored India\u2019s unique position to leapfrog into an AI-driven future, much like its rapid adoption of mobile technologies in the past. He articulated how India\u2019s evolving AI ecosystem, bolstered by government-backed initiatives like the Public GPU Cloud, is democratizing access to technology and fostering grassroots innovation.<\/p>\n

Mr. Vempati drew attention to Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s vision of democratizing technology through Digital Public Goods, which now extends to AI infrastructure. Highlighting India\u2019s focus on developing indigenous AI capabilities, he spoke about the importance of Indic-language AI tools like BHASHINI, which are breaking down language barriers to enhance accessibility and inclusivity. These efforts, he noted, are paving the way for transformative applications across agriculture, manufacturing, and public services, ultimately contributing to India\u2019s socio-economic development.<\/p>\n

A central theme of his address was the\u00a0DataDaan campaign<\/strong>, a pioneering effort to build large, publicly accessible datasets. The initiative invites individuals, institutions, and public bodies to contribute their datasets to create a repository that can empower startups, researchers, and academia to build AI models tailored to India\u2019s local context. \u201cData Daan is about turning a challenge into an opportunity. By sharing our datasets, we\u2019re not just fostering innovation but enabling India to lead in building AI solutions for diverse and nuanced applications,<\/em><\/strong>\u201d Mr. Vempati explained.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Vempati reflected on the unique advantage emerging economies like India possess\u2014the absence of legacy systems, which allows them to adopt advanced technologies with agility. He stressed that with the right investments in AI and initiatives like Data Daan, India could position itself as a global leader in AI innovation.<\/p>\n

At GPAI 2024, Mr. Vempati who is also on the advisory board of the Center of Policy Research and Governance credited CPRG for its continuous contribution and support to the Data Daan Initiative in collaboration with AI4India . Founded in 2016, CPRG is an independent Delhi-based think tank dedicated to advancing people-centric policymaking and addressing challenges in the economy, workforce, and education through research on emerging technologies.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

CPRG Director Dr. Ramanand underscored the importance of AI4India and CPRG\u2019s joint participation at the GPAI in presenting India\u2019s priorities and challenges in this fast emerging field. Adding to the discourse, Visiting Fellow Chetan Aggarwal presented insights on \u2018AI in Agriculture Green Transition and Climate,\u2019 at the GPAI exemplifying CPRG\u2019s commitment to driving sustainable growth through innovation.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Alok Agrawal,<\/strong>\u00a0Co-Founder of AI4India, the joint efforts of AI4India and CPRG at GPAI 2024 as a \u201cblueprint for how emerging economies can harness AI for equitable and sustainable progress\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>with initiatives like \u2018Data Daan\u2019 gaining momentum.<\/p>\n
