A plan for India to carve its own space in the AI dominance race

However, it is not too late, nor is it to India's disadvantage not to have top-notch algorithm developments taking place outside the country. The reality is that most useful algorithms make it to the public domain quickly, leading to their wide availability. Algorithms are not hard to get, data is. Indeed, one could argue that there could be advantages in not getting into the algorithm race, at least as a short-term winning strategy. We can let others do the complex and expensive job of creating these algorithms, and focus on India-specific use cases and data instead.
