India advances AI model localization to enhance data security and sovereignty
India is pushing for the localization of AI models to mitigate data leak risks and enhance data sovereignty, as part of the upcoming Digital Personal Data Protection Act. This initiative aims to bolster national security while fostering domestic AI capabilities, with a significant investment of ₹10,300 crore over five years. However, the strategy must balance innovation with the potential for technological isolation, as strict localization could hinder global competitiveness and deter foreign investment.
