Artificial Intelligence Investment: Work on Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure is going on at a rapid pace in India and considering the speed with which investment is being made in it, it would not be wrong to say that it is emerging as a new hub of AI.
Microsoft is going to make a big bet
Now in this regard, take the American multinational technology company Microsoft, which has recently announced an investment of $ 17.5 billion in India between 2026 and 2029.
Microsoft Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella had also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding this. After this he posted on X and said, “Thank you PM Modi for the inspiring conversation on AI opportunities in India. “To support the country’s ambitions, Microsoft is investing $17.5 billion – our largest investment ever in Asia – to help build the infrastructure, skills and sovereign capabilities needed for India’s AI-first future.”
Even Amazon is not behind
Last Wednesday, Amazon also said that the company will increase investment in India to more than Rs 3.15 lakh crore ($35 billion) by 2030. Apart from this, in the same month Amazon has also announced Rs 1.14 lakh crore in states like Telangana and Maharashtra.
Google is also not far behind in terms of investment. In the month of October, it has said that it will spend Rs 1.35 lakh crore in the next five years in the development of data center and AI hub in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Meta has also announced an initial investment of Rs 900 crore ($100 million) for AI solutions in partnership with Reliance Industries.
AI also has many benefits
Of course, due to AI, there have been continuous reports of layoffs from various institutions for some time now, but the investment of these big companies is also likely to provide employment to a large number of people.
Since India is the fastest growing digital economy of the world, where the number of tech users has crossed the 100 crore mark. In such a situation, the investment of these foreign companies will promote development at the local level, new jobs will be created, which will boost the economy and further strengthen the GDP. With this the country will progress faster.
If the country’s AI and cloud infrastructure is strong, then all the sectors will grow, startups will also get a boost, new investments will also increase. Experts predict that in the coming time, the use of AI will increase everywhere from healthcare to education and agriculture.
What is AI?
On this, IIMC professor and expert on social and political subjects, Shivaji Sarkar says, AI is not a new technology. This is a monitoring system, which quickly captures your work in its system, like if you take ChatGPT. When it was started two years ago, it did not provide answers to the questions asked, but today the same ChatGPT answers all your questions immediately. It only delivers the information given by you to you. He further says, you can call AI as official plagiarism, which serves you your own thing.
AI is not a threat in itself. When you enter any input in any format into any system, AI adapts it and creates new information. There is no guarantee whether this is correct or not. In such a situation, it would not be wrong to say that your privacy is at risk from AI.
Why is investment increasing on AI infrastructure?
The biggest advantage of AI is time saving because it provides solutions faster. In such a situation, AI saves a lot of time in doing any work or processing the result. As far as investment is concerned, companies are using AI to grow faster in the market and outperform other companies like them, hence investment in AI infrastructure is increasing rapidly.
