The IndiaAI Datasets Platform, a key component of the Rs 10,000 crore IndiaAI Mission, is scheduled to be operational by January 2025, said by Nand Kumarum, the CEO of NeGD. The goal is to develop a platform similar to HuggingFace, a collaborative and open-source forum in the United States that hosts datasets and AI models for developers to build, train, and release their own models.  

“The idea primarily is like HuggingFace – you have models, you have datasets, and you have people coming up and using those datasets and building models. We are trying to do something similar,” Kumarum said at an event in the national capital.

He informed sources at the event that information from both central and state governments, along with the private sector, will be included. He mentioned that there is progress being made in private partnerships.

Kumarum mentioned that it will take time to incorporate thousands of datasets and models into a global repository like HuggingFace, but the basic framework will be operational by the end of January at the latest.

The IndiaAI Mission also includes six additional pillars such as compute capacity, future skills, an innovation center, application development initiative, startup financing, and safe and trusted AI, as announced by the electronics and information technology ministry in March.

Kumarum also mentioned that generative AI could be applied in various ways within the government. For example, if it is trained with previous documents, it can aid in creating proposals or plans, enhance productivity in the office, and facilitate comparisons of various states' policies.
