Big Blue got the most attention after signing three memorandums of agreement, one of which will see IBM become a partner of the India Semiconductor Mission , New Delhi’sIBM’s partnership may see it “share its experience with ISM on intellectual property, tools, initiatives, and skills development, aimed at promoting innovation in semiconductor technologies such as logic, advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration, and advanced chip design technologies, using modernized infrastructure.
The AI collaboration is more defined, with India and IBM to “establish a world-class national AI Innovation Platform for India that will focus on AI skilling, ecosystem development, and integrating advanced foundation models and generative AI capabilities”. AIIP will have access to IBM’s watsonx platform, “including the ability to use models in language, code and geospatial science with the intent to train models for other domains as needed.”India’s government has well and truly hopped on the AI bandwagon, consistent with government policy that the nation has embarked on a “techade” of activity in which digital technology of all sorts will become more prevalent, and potent, across the public and private sectors.
That plan highlights India’s tricky relationship with big tech, which is often called on to contribute to economic development even as India also works to ensure local companies aren’t stymied by foreign companies’ power and first mover advantage. IBM can more easily escape that sort of attention because it’s a pure business-to-business company and therefore doesn’t impact individual lives in the same way as Google, Microsoft, or Amazon.
