India's Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser has released a white paper advocating for the democratization of AI infrastructure, treating core AI building blocks like compute, datasets, and models as digital public goods rather than proprietary assets. The paper argues that wider, affordable access to these resources is crucial for fostering innovation beyond large corporations and urban centers, enabling startups, universities, and researchers nationwide to develop AI solutions tailored to India's diverse needs, including local language tools and assistive technologies.
