00:00This is a wake-up call for any country to think about their technological sovereignty.
00:05Are you saying that for a while, until this technology settles,
00:09you will see different countries use the leverage they have
00:12to play this AI sovereignty power game,
00:16and that this becomes powerful cause?
00:18That someday we will stand up and say,
00:20we'll stop access to our data for your models as leverage,
00:24and then somebody will say, we'll stop access to chips?
00:27Exactly. So this kind of a standoff, Mexican standoff, is not going to work anywhere.
00:33Yes, we have had those instances.
00:35I absolutely agree with you that this is a wake-up call for any country
00:39to think about their technological sovereignty.
00:42I know countries in Europe are thinking very hard about this.
00:45India, active conversation on this topic.
00:47Even in the enlightened self-interest of largest countries in the world,
00:51the biggest, most powerful countries in the world,
00:53they want AI diffusion to happen today.
00:56And rather than AI being cut off.
00:59Now, given the instances, does India need to think about the stack,
01:03the AI stack carefully, and manage each element of the stack?
01:07Not just by saying, I will be self-sufficient.
01:10Sovereignty is not self-sufficiency.
01:12Sovereignty means a smart way of interdependence
01:16with clearly identified things that I must own.
01:19I must own, I must control,
01:21I must have access to some elements of this in such a way.
01:24For example, if there's a model that is,
01:26let's say spewing bad things about India,
01:28and that is uncontrolled access within India,
01:30it could be bad for India's political stability.
01:34So does India need to have some control
01:37over the models that are being used
01:38and what answers they're providing?
01:40At some point of time, it will become a necessity.
