In less than a year, the IndiaAI Mission has turned into one of the largest GPU programmes. More than 34,000 GPUs are already empanelled, four times the original 10,000 target. Another 6,000 are in the pipeline, bringing the total to nearly 40,000 GPUs. The…

Antibiotic resistance — the “silent pandemic” — caused nearly five million deaths worldwide in 2019. At IIT Madras, researchers are tackling this crisis with a chip that can test bacterial resistance in hours instead of days. The device, called ε-µD, can…

Artificial Intelligence now influences decisions across sectors, but not all decisions carry the same weight. A chatbot’s casual error may be forgivable. In finance or healthcare, however, a single wrong prediction can cost billions, or even a life.  This…

When developers think of conversational AI, Python usually takes the spotlight. It’s the language of research papers, TensorFlow tutorials, and every quick experiment you’ve ever seen on GitHub. But when the goal shifts from “let’s test this in a notebook”…

Open source has always walked a fine line between community spirit and commercial survival. With the rise of generative AI, that balance is becoming harder to maintain. For many independent developers, permissive licences no longer feel like a safeguard of…

The global healthcare AI market is projected to reach $46.6 billion by 2035. It is set to transform how hospitals, payers and wellness providers manage everything from electronic medical records (EMR) to diagnostics and claims. However, as the industry evolves…

AI is headed to be the cornerstone of digital transformation worldwide. But, India faces a pressing question: invest in building its own foundational AI models or continue adapting global ones for local use? The debate revolves around sovereignty, cost, innovation…

Stories have been the lifeblood of human civilisations. From cave paintings to cinema screens to shorts and reels, each era has found new ways to tell them. With the advent of generative AI, imagination is no longer limited by production barriers when it…

Text-to-speech-based generative models have propelled the industry towards faster and more efficient consumer engagement and hiring. Yet, replicating human tone, emotion, and subtlety remains far off. Voice AI holds a unique promise, but complexities as well. …

Generative AI is evolving beyond the race for larger models, focusing on sovereignty, data ownership, and cultural alignment. For India, where multilingual diversity defines daily life, the challenge lies in building AI that reflects these realities while…

India’s AI cloud market is crowded with multiple providers vying for the attention of startups, IITs, and enterprises. The IndiaAI Mission has empanelled over 34,000 GPUs, with another 6,000 on the way.  Around 72% of these GPUs have been allocated to startups…

Most vendors are mislabeling their products as “agentic AI,” setting unrealistic expectations around tools that are essentially copilots or intelligent automation with a chat interface, according to new research from HFS. This “agentic-washing” — the gap…
