(AI) The government will soon start contact with the global network of AI and machine learning (ML) experts to guide the companies selected to develop basic models and startups. A senior government official gave this information.
The said officer said that the aim of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology is to add mentor with experts of top AI companies to join the initial stage of creating a structure for basic models.
The official said, “We will start contacting AI researchers, academics and experts of major universities and companies around the world this week. After selecting companies working on basic models, our plan is to connect them with the upcoming advisors.
Another official said that these advisors will also help the selected companies to design and develop basic models as per the demand of the market and will also help create models to fit the right equipment.
The official said, “A lot of initial work is likely to be of academic nature and it will require a lot of training, research and development. When we have a trained labor force on basic things, we will start work on compilation and training of models on dataset.
Work on AI basic model will be done under India AI Mission of Rs 10,372 crore. Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said on January 30 that with at least 6 startups, it is talking about developing several half -models in various fields.
