India's AI Race: a Recipe for Win

Today, India lags behind in the AI race significantly compared to the US or China. Indian university or institutes are not yet top notch AI research entities, either measured by citations or other measures such as winning prestigious AI contests. Most recently, Chinese scientists have demonstrated and claimed "Quantum Supremacy" in a race that seems to upend Google and USA. However, it is not too late, nor is it to India's disadvantage not to have the top-notch algorithm developments taking place outside of the country. The reality is that most useful algorithms make it to the public domain quickly and are widely available.
