India On Wrong Path, Should Build Foundational Models: Perplexity CEO

The CEO of Perplexity, an AI company, stated that India is on the wrong path and should focus on building foundational models for AI development. He emphasized that while India has made strides in adopting AI technologies, it lacks a strong foundation for creating original AI models and innovations. To become a global leader in AI, India needs to prioritize research and development in AI model building rather than just focusing on application-based solutions. The CEO's remarks reflect broader concerns about India's AI strategy and the need for more investment in fundamental AI research and capabilities.
