'India gives 33 percent more data to ChatGPT than America', Amitabh Kant (Photo-X)
ANI, New Delhi. G-20 Sherpa and former NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a very transformative technology, which will impact every sector and lifestyle. Therefore, it is important to make AI accessible, affordable, accountable and multilingual, otherwise global inequalities may deepen.
At the AI Impact Summit, Kant said that India and the Global South are today the major sources of data for large language models. According to him, India is providing 33 percent more data to OpenAI's ChatGPT than America, so it is important that India and developing countries also get its benefit.
He said that technology is meaningful only if it works for low-income people, areas with low internet speed, non-English speaking citizens, women, farmers, MSMEs and frontline workers, otherwise it will not be considered purposeful.
Kant said India's experience with digital public infrastructure shows that technology built with inclusion and mass adoption in mind can change lives.
Citing DPI models like India's Aadhaar-UPI, Kant said that AI should also be allowed to compete by the private sector by adding a layer of "digital public identity". He believes that AI should be used for social change in grassroots sectors like health, education and agriculture, and not just for the profits of big tech companies.
New jobs like data science and machine learning will increase with AI. Amitabh Kant said that AI will change the way people live and work, but it will not cause unemployment on a large scale, but different types of new jobs will be created.
He described India's young population, technical talent and data capability as the country's biggest strengths in the global AI race. According to him, the demand for roles like data scientist, machine learning specialist will increase rapidly in future, hence change in education courses is necessary.
