India leading in AI adoption, shaping how it's governed, says FM Sitharaman   … BS .. 23 Feb 2025


Extract :


Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday said India was not just leading in the adoption of artificial intelligence, but also shaping how AI is governed.


Speaking at the 6th convocation of the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Kottayam, Sitharaman said that India was not just ready for AI, but the demand for AI-driven solutions was also high in the country.


She said this was evident from the fact that the country recorded 3 billion AI-related app downloads in 2024, while the US and China had only 1.5 billion and 1.3 billion downloads, respectively.


The Finance Minister also said that India being made the co-chair at the recent AI Action Summit in Paris was a recognition of the country's global position in the sector.


She noted that at the summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had emphasised that AI was not just a matter of national significance but a global responsibility.


"What he (Modi) said gives us a very big message , use AI, but use it responsibly. Do not misuse it, do not use it unethically.


"So, it is very important for us to have AI that is ethical, inclusive, and trustworthy," she said.


Sitharaman also outlined the steps taken by the central government in the field of AI, starting with the India AI mission, which was announced with a budget outlay of Rs 10,300 crore for building computing infrastructure, developing indigenous AI capabilities, attracting AI talent from around the world, and financing AI startups.


"India is not just experimenting with AI. We are not just talking about AI or researching it. We are actually implementing it at scale and across various sectors," Sitharaman said, adding that this has been recognised by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.


During her speech, Sitharaman also referred to India's achievements in the field of innovation and patenting.


She said that India's ranking in the Global Innovation Index had improved to 39 out of 133 countries in 2024, up from 81 in 2015.


Sitharaman also highlighted that India's patents-to-GDP ratiowhich measures the economic impact of patent activityhad risen to 381 in 2023 from 144 in 2013, indicating significant progress in innovation and patenting.


"Besides that, India holds the 7th position in intangible asset intensity, surpassing the growth rate of many high-income economies and matching the intangible investment intensity of Germany and Japan," she said at the event.


She added that all these achievements indicated that the country was moving in the right direction, while also needing to further improve its performance.


"We are moving towards greater innovation and greater self-reliance," she added.

Sitharaman also congratulated the students who graduated from IIIT Kottayam and, at the same time, urged them to ensure that incidents like the recent ragging case at a nursing college in Kerala do not happen at their institute.


"We do not need that. We do not want anyone to even playfully harass other students. We need to support one another, be better individuals, and become responsible youngsters so that we can build a bright future for the country," Sitharaman said as she concluded her speech.

White Paper on " Modi's Manavs "

WHITE PAPER

A Global Collaborative Platform for LLMs: Towards Collective Intelligence

 

Abstract:

The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has led to their widespread adoption across industries. However, each LLM operates in isolation, responding based on its own training data, architecture, and biases. This fragmented approach limits the potential of AI, as no single model can provide the most optimal response in every scenario.

 

This white paper proposes the Global Collaborative Platform for LLMs (GCPL)—a system where multiple LLMs interact through a structured iterative process to enhance the quality, depth, and diversity of responses. Unlike traditional ensemble methods, this system facilitates indirect collaboration, where LLMs refine each other’s outputs through a mediated platform.

 

By establishing a standardized API-based communication framework, this initiative seeks to create a dynamic, self-improving AI ecosystem, benefiting industries, academia, and public services. This paper outlines the problems, objectives, methodologies, timeline, and potential risks associated with this initiative.

 

1. The Problem Statement

Despite their advancements, existing LLMs face several limitations when operating

independently:


Siloed Knowledge 

Each LLM is trained on different datasets with varied strengths and weaknesses.

No single model has access to the collective intelligence of all.


Limited Perspective 


An individual model may introduce biases based on its training data, missing


critical insights that another model might provide.



Lack of Cross-Validation 


Responses generated by LLMs are rarely validated against other LLMs, leading to


errors, misinformation, or suboptimal answers.



Inconsistent Accuracy 


No LLM consistently outperforms in all domains. For example, DeepSeek excels in


mathematics, Grok in real-time reasoning, Gemini in multilingual tasks, and


ChatGPT in structured responses.



Absence of Collaborative AI Governance 


There is no global framework that enables multiple AI systems to work together


transparently while maintaining security, neutrality, and accountability.


 

The question arises:


How can we harness the strengths of multiple LLMs while mitigating their


individual weaknesses?

 

2. Objective


The Global Collaborative Platform for LLMs (GCPL) aims to:


Create a structured framework where LLMs interact in an iterative refinement


process.


Ensure diverse perspectives by incorporating multiple models for well-rounded,


unbiased responses.


Enable cross-validation to enhance accuracy and reliability.


Standardize API integration to allow seamless multi-LLM collaboration.


Develop a governance model to regulate AI collaboration, ensuring fairness,


accountability, and security.

 

3. Collaborative Spirit Between LLMs


Although LLMs do not directly communicate, their responses can be

systematically shared and refined using an intermediary platform. This creates

a structured workflow where each model:


Provides its initial response to a given question.


Receives responses from other LLMs and evaluates/refines them based on its


strengths.


Suggests modifications based on detected gaps, inconsistencies, or alternative


perspectives.


Participates in an iterative process until a final consensus or best-processed


response is achieved.


This structured collaboration ensures that each LLM contributes not just as a

generator of knowledge but as a validator, critic, and refiner of collective

intelligence.

 

4. Methodology to Achieve Collaboration


4.1 System Architecture

The proposed system consists of:


User Query Submission – A web-based or API-driven interface where users post


questions.



Multi-LLM Processing Hub – A middleware application that:

o   Sends the user’s question to multiple LLMs.

o   Collects their responses.

o   Facilitates iterative refinement rounds.


o   Determines the best-processed response.


Iterative Feedback Mechanism – Each LLM is provided with responses from


others and asked to refine them.


Final Response Generation – After a defined number of iterations, the best


response is presented to the user.


Performance Monitoring Dashboard – Tracks the effectiveness of responses,


identifies model-specific strengths, and helps optimize future iterations.

 

4.2 API-Based Communication Framework


To enable this structured interaction, the platform will implement a standardized

API with:


Submission Protocol – Defines how queries are sent to LLMs.


Response Collection Protocol – Structures how LLMs submit responses and


reviews.


Feedback and Refinement Protocol – Governs how models critique and


enhance each other's responses.


Final Response Selection Criteria – Uses AI-driven ranking algorithms to


determine the most refined output.


Each participating LLM provider (e.g., OpenAI, Google DeepMind, xAI, etc.) will be

invited to expose an endpoint that integrates with the GCPL API.

conflicting ways.


Security Risks – Interfacing with multiple LLMs increases exposure to


cybersecurity threats.


API Monetization & Restrictions – Proprietary models may impose access


limitations, affecting seamless collaboration.


Ethical Concerns – How should AI-generated content be attributed when


responses are a mix of multiple models?


Regulatory Hurdles – Governmental oversight on AI collaborations may slow


progress.


To mitigate these risks, AI governance policies and transparent regulatory

frameworks must be developed alongside technical infrastructure.

 

9. Conclusion & Call to Action


The Global Collaborative Platform for LLMs (GCPL) represents a paradigm shift in

AI development. Instead of competing in silos, leading AI models can collectively

refine human knowledge, enhancing accuracy, fairness, and inclusivity.


We invite AI companies, academic institutions, and policymakers to join this

effort in creating a truly collaborative AI ecosystem that serves humanity.
