It will create an AI ecosystem with 10,000 GPUs or more
The Cabinet of Ministers of India approved the state initiative IndiaAI, which is designed to «make artificial intelligence work for India».
Through the initiative, India intends to create a comprehensive ecosystem to accelerate innovation in artificial intelligence through strategic programs and partnerships in the public and private sectors.
Third-party sources write that India is going to create a supercomputer with at least 10,000 GPUs, but the government website states that an AI ecosystem will be created with that many GPUs. That is, it could be several supercomputers or a large number of different systems, with a total of 10,000 or more GPUs.
Also, as part of the initiative, the IndiaAI innovation center will be created, a program for developing IndiaAI applications will be launched, the state will finance startups in this area and strengthen the educational sector in the field of AI.
In total, about $1.24 billion will be allocated for the initiative.
