IBM CEO and MD suggested to the government to develop sovereign capability in AI and to set up a national AI computing centre. There is constant talk about the capability of AI and the need to regulate it. However, for the first time, we are talking about the government developing AI capabilities. The government can make use of datasets and LLMs for macro-economic purposes.

As we know, vast datasets are required to train LLMs. These models are basically predictive. If the government uses appropriate language models, the government can use these to predict monsoon, the health requirements of the citizens over the years, the way the economy and GDP would grow. These areas are of no interest to private organisations. If the government creates AI capability centre, it could have the right kind of AI tools for policy making.

The government will have server farms and would do appropriate investment in them. These server farms will be housed in huge real estates. To develop such infrastructure, the government can allow private participation.
