Srinivas’ remarks were a reaction to Nilekani’s previous counsel to Indian AI entrepreneurs. During the October Meta AI Summit, Nilekani advised companies to focus their resources on developing useful AI solutions rather than the expensive task of developing massive AI models.
“Our aim should not be to develop one more LLM. Let the big boys in the (Silicon) Valley do it, burning billions of dollars. We would use this as a way to create synthetic data, create small language models in a flash with an appropriate dataset and train them,” said Nilekani. He stressed the need for a scalable, affordable infrastructure and practical applications.
Srinivas, however, had a different opinion. He called for a more ambitious approach to AI development in India. Drawing from his own experience, he stated that India is committing a strategic error by not training AI models under the misguided assumption that the costs would be prohibitively large.
