Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, recently commented, “It is likely that one of the largest export products of India is AI that you will produce. He expressed his hope for India’s prospects regarding Artificial Intelligence and its advancements. 

Huang added that he believes this is an ideal opportunity for India. He said, “The energy in India has always been great. There is a genuine international desire to invest in India unlike any time in history”. He believes India’s natural resource is computer science.

He further said, “I think that Nandan probably played a big role in that. It is one of your natural resources. You produce it at an incredible scale, and you are incredibly good at it, and you export it all over the world. You have got to transform that IT natural resource into an AI natural resource.”

He also opined that India has the data for computer science, and it was only a matter of owning a few factories. He added, “We are all going to work together to build some amazing factories here. Then AI could be built in India, used in India and exported from India.”

The tech talent who comes out of India’s famous colleges like IITs was the common theme in Huang’s answers to the questions posed by the media in Bengaluru on September 8. He added, “You have the great talent of computer scientists. You produce more computer scientists than any country on the planet. Your infrastructure for producing computer scientists is called actual intelligence. That infrastructure is called IIT. You produce world-class computer scientists at scale,”

He later said that, in order to transform data into intelligence, a new kind of infrastructure must be created and told that there is no reason to outsource them. “We should build here, train here, and produce AI here. You have everything you need to build the AI and use it here in India, but you need infrastructure”.

Huang talked about the Indian startups who built their company for the need for infrastructure. So, he said, “In the future, I hope we have the supercomputers here in India. Our engineers will use the supercomputers here. They can do their AI work with all the local ecosystem partners, developers, AI startups, researchers, and scientists. You just use your own infrastructure. The engineers can stay here. You don’t have to go anywhere else to do it.” He further added, “India needs them to stay here. You deserve to have them stay here. Build the companies here. Build your AI here. Use your AI here”.
