India is emerging as a significant player in the global artificial intelligence (AI) landscape, leveraging its vast internet and consumer application user base to generate localized data and deploy AI technologies. Experts highlight India's potential as the second largest generator of digital data, which can provide high-quality datasets for AI model training, thereby enhancing accessibility to AI tools. The US-India TRUST initiative is seen as a strategic platform to develop cost-efficient data centers and build talent capabilities for advanced AI infrastructure. Additionally, India is utilizing satellite communication to improve internet services and bridge digital divides, which could further boost the country's AI participation. Meanwhile, as AI politics intensify globally, India and China may find common ground in AI regulation despite ongoing trade, security, and geopolitical tensions. In contrast, the United States is focused on dominating AI over China but faces challenges regarding its restrictive approach to Chinese access to critical technologies, potential retaliation, and strained alliances. Europe, with its cluster of global-scale AI firms, is encouraged to pursue an independent path characterized by openness and smart regulation amid the US-China competition.
