India floats AI plan under which ‘The model travels to the data, rather than the data travelling to the model’

The Indian government is developing a sovereign AI strategy that involves deploying 20 specialized models supported by 38,000 GPUs by 2026. This initiative focuses on a decentralized infrastructure where AI models are processed locally rather than transferring sensitive information to external servers. By keeping data within domestic borders, the plan aims to build national technological self-reliance and reduce dependence on major global tech firms for data processing and model accessibility.
