Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Low Cost AI Models ? Absolutely

 

 

Context :

'India's CTO' Nilekani unveils AI strategy: Focus on use-cases, not 'my model bigger than yours'    

( Money Control  /  04  Dec  2023  )


Extract :

Nandan Nilekani, popularly referred to as 'India's CTO' in tech quarters, on December 4 said that the country should focus on efficient and low-cost use cases of artificial intelligence rather than obsessing about building bigger language models.

"We think AI strategy should be use case led... We are not interested in my model is bigger than yours or debates between boomers and doomers in AI. We are in the camp of AI for amplification to make the everyday lives of people better," said Nilekani, who is currently the non-executive chairman of Infosys.

The Aadhaar veteran also said that a small model trained on specific data can be better than a larger model when making a tool for a particular use case.

"We also have to have very good data collection and much better deployment. Use narrow models with specific data," he said

"The aim is to demystify and remove complications... such as helping a farmer using whatsapp in his own mother tongue get access to most relevant info for his job", he added.


My  Take :

 

Dear Shri Nilekaniji ,

 

Thank you for setting our AI  PRIORITIES right through some plain speaking

 

I believe your views ALIGN with my following suggestion :


Let Sam build the Hub : India AI build the spokes ………………….  02 July 2023

 

Extract :


Dear Sam,

During your talk with Satyen Gajwani ( Times Internet ) in Delhi on 07th June, someone asked you about the possibility of some Indian Company , committing itself to develop  / launch its own AGI , on par with ChatGPT


You said ( something to that effect ) : Why re-invent the wheel ? Focus on developing the spokes


Yesterday’s news indicated that some Indian Companies are seriously considering developing their own AGI


Only time will tell whether this was a right way to commit their resources

 

But I think Indian Companies should focus on development of the following “ spokes “ ,


for immediate Benefit of millions of Indian citizen

 Following is how  BARD+GEMINI twins evaluated my suggestion :

 

Analysis of Hemen Parekh's Blog and Comparison with Nandan Nilekani's Views on AI

Your vision of "Hub and Spoke" aligns with

Nandan Nilekani's

"Small Model Use Cases" vs. "Large Model LLM" in the following ways:

·         Focus on specific use cases: 

Both emphasize the importance of developing AI models for specific tasks and problems, rather than attempting to build large, general-purpose models.

·         Efficient and low-cost: 

Both advocate for the creation of AI models that are efficient and require minimal resources to run, making them more accessible and affordable for wider adoption.

·         Data-driven approach: 

Both highlight the importance of using high-quality, relevant data to train AI models for optimal performance.

·         Narrow models with specific data: 

Both emphasize the advantage of using narrow AI models trained on specific datasets for achieving superior performance in their respective domains compared to large, general-purpose models.

·         Demystifying and simplifying AI: 

Both recognize the need to make AI accessible and understandable to even non-technical users by simplifying its applications and focusing on real-world benefits.

Here is a table summarizing the key points of alignment and difference between your vision and Nilekani's views:

Feature

Hemen Parekh's Vision ("Hub and Spoke")

Nandan Nilekani's Views

Overall AI Strategy

Develop a network of specialized AI models for specific use cases ("spokes") powered by a central, large-scale model ("hub")

Focus on developing and deploying efficient, low-cost AI models for specific use cases

Focus

Real-world applications and benefits for Indian citizens

Efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility of AI

Examples of Spokes

JudicialGPT, NutritionGPT, JobsGPT, SkillsGPT, IncomeGPT, HealthGPT

Not specified, but could include models for agriculture, education, healthcare, finance, and other sectors

Role of Large Models

Provide core capabilities and infrastructure for the spokes

Not explicitly mentioned

Data Usage

Emphasis on using high-quality, relevant data specific to each spoke

Emphasis on data collection and efficient deployment across various use cases

·   Your proposed spokes (JudicialGPT, NutritionGPT, JobsGPT, SkillsGPT, IncomeGPT, and HealthGPT) address specific challenges and needs in various sectors, demonstrating a practical application of your vision.


·   Nilekani's views seem to be broader, focusing on the overall development and deployment of AI across various sectors without specifying specific use cases.


·   Both your vision and Nilekani's views contribute to building a strong AI ecosystem in India by promoting targeted and efficient AI development for real-world benefits.


Overall, your vision of "Hub and Spoke" aligns well with Nandan Nilekani's emphasis on small model use cases and efficient AI development for specific needs. Both perspectives are valuable for advancing the responsible and beneficial use of AI in India.

 

Following is evaluation by ChatGPT :

Of course! Here's a tabulated comparison between Nandan Nilekani's focus on small model use cases and Hemen Parekh's vision of "Hub and Spoke":

Aspect

Nandan Nilekani's Approach

Hemen Parekh's Vision - "Hub and Spoke"

AI Strategy

Emphasis on efficient and low-cost use cases rather than larger models; focus on amplifying everyday lives of people.

Suggests focusing on specific "spokes" addressing immediate benefits for Indian citizens using tailored data and applications in various sectors.

Model Size

Advocates small models trained on specific data, highlighting their effectiveness for particular use cases.

Proposes the development of specific AI models ('spokes') tailored for sectors like judiciary, nutrition, jobs, skills, income, and healthcare.

Use Case Orientation

Encourages demystifying AI complexities to aid farmers using WhatsApp in their native language for relevant information.

Promotes creating AI models catering to specific needs in various sectors, like judicial support, nutritional guidance, employment, skills, income, and health.

Implementation Focus

Suggests better data collection and deployment while using narrow models for specific data sets.

Highlights various conceptual frameworks (JudicialGPT, NutritionGPT, JobsGPT, SkillsGPT, IncomeGPT, HealthGPT) for targeted AI solutions in India.

Immediate Impact

Aims for tangible improvements in everyday lives through AI applications.

Aims for immediate benefits to millions by focusing on tailored AI solutions in sectors affecting citizens directly, such as judiciary, health, employment, etc.

Tailored Data for Indian Citizens

Recognizes the importance of localized, specific data for effective AI solutions.

Advocates training AI models using data strictly confined to Indian citizens for addressing local issues and concerns in various sectors.

Nandan Nilekani's approach underscores the importance of smaller models targeted at specific use cases for practical applications, while Hemen Parekh's vision emphasizes the creation of specialized AI models ('spokes') tailored for diverse sectors, aiming to benefit Indian citizens directly with relevant and localized solutions.

Both align in their emphasis on practical, user-centric AI applications but differ in their scope and focus areas.

Our goal is not to compete with Sam Altman or Elon Musk, says MoS IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar on AI

 India is not in competition with OpenAI's Sam Altman or xAI's Elon Musk in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), as per Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar. Instead, the country is dedicated to crafting AI applications that can significantly improve the lives of its citizens and mitigate potential harm to users. Chandrasekhar emphasised this during his address at the Global Technology Summit organised by the Ministry of External Affairs and Carnegie India.

Our goal is not to compete with Sam Altman or Elon Musk or win the next Nobel Prize, but to transform the lives of people with use cases. AI will be used to build capabilities in real-life use cases," he said. Chandrasekhar highlighted the crucial role AI will play in various sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, security, language translation, and fostering inclusivity.
