India Will Be Exporting AI In Future Using Tokens: NVIDIA CEO

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, today (October 24), said that India will now be exporting artificial intelligence (AI), a country which once was known to produce and export software to the world.

Huang was addressing the NVIDIA’s AI Summit 2024 in Mumbai.

He said that to be able to create and produce AI there requires infrastructure and machinery. These machines will take energy and transform them into tokens. Tokens are floating point numbers, which reconstitute depending on its modality to AI.

Artificial intelligence or digital intelligence is one of the valuable commodities known today and the production of intelligence at enormous scale will be the novel industrial revolution, Huang said.

On this ground, he expressed his interest in partnering with Indian enterprises and startups to pave the way for India to be at the centre of this new revolution.

Huang further said that intelligence is growing four times faster each year in terms of the tech movement present today.

The global chip maker’s chief executive earlier in the summit revealed that NVIDIA has partnered with more than 2,000 Indian startups since its inception, including ecommerce major Flipkart, SaaS startup Zoho, Bhavish Aggarwal-led AI unicorn Krutrim and Sarvam AI to develop large language models (LLMs) for Indian languages.

This development comes on the heels of his recent discussion with the country’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a few weeks ago, where he expressed that Nvidia is excited to partner with India to advance AI. He then added that the chip making giant is committed to providing India with access to its most advanced technologies.
