India is growing fast in AI literacy and agency and the country can help democratise artificial intelligence, Chris Lehane, Chief Global Affairs Officer of OpenAI said in a session at NDTV Ind.AI today. The session, moderated by NDTV Editor-in-Chief Rahul Kanwal and public policy expert Shweta Rajpal Kohli, dealt with topics like how India is becoming well-positioned in data and talent on developing AI. Some of the other key points Lehane discussed in detail include teaching children to become AI engineers, and India working as a model to close any capability gap. OpenAI is working on the government’s guidance to build models that speak 25 different languages in the country, he said. “What’s really important if you’re going to have AI for and by India, the model here should reflect culture, languages, context, and that is part of the piece that’s inherent to actually building that kind of sovereign AI,” Lehane added.
