State vs State: Who’s Slaying the AI Game in India?

Indian states are coming up with unique initiatives to position themselves as the leader in the AI field. Karnataka, for instance, recently signed a letter of intent with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to establish a dedicated AI centre, aiming to establish itself as a global AI hub. 

At the WEF meet in Davos, the state signed eight memorandums of understanding with global firms, securing investments worth INR 23,000 crore across AI, citizen services, sustainability, and e-governance.

What About the Others? 

Telangana is also climbing up the ladder by setting up an AI City near Hyderabad. Spread over 200 acres, it will house companies specialising in AI. In Andhra Pradesh, chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu has directed officials to develop Amaravati as a city focused on AI.
