The conversation around building AI for both rural and urban Bharat is gaining momentum, with Indian startups and companies showing a keen interest in developing Indic AI models that cater to the country’s diverse linguistic and cultural landscape. To delve deeper into this topic, an engaging webinar titled “Building Blocks for Bharat: AI Drivers for Next-Gen Applications” is scheduled for Thursday, 12th December at 4:30 PM. The session, hosted by Vivekananda Pani, co-founder of Reverie Language Technologies, promises to explore key themes around accessibility, inclusivity, and the role of AI in reshaping the Digital Bharat Market.
Pani, in an earlier conversation with AIM, had highlighted the need for building something like ChatGPT in India, comparing it to building a rocket to reach the moon instead of walking for 25 lives. This event is a must-attend for product leads, developers, and innovators eager to understand and contribute to the digital revolution sweeping across Bharat. The session will delve into the AI-driven strategies, challenges, and innovations that are paving the way for digital equality and transformation in next-gen Bharat.
The webinar will cover topics such as enhancing accessibility and inclusivity through AI, the challenges of catering to Bharat’s diverse language and accessibility needs, and the rise of voice as the primary interface for digital engagement in Bharat. Attendees can expect to gain insights into essential considerations for businesses aiming to create impactful solutions tailored to Bharat’s unique demands, as well as strategies for developing language interfaces on platforms and devices to enhance accessibility.
Pani also shared his team’s journey in building an ‘AI rocket’ to address the Indic AI challenge. Starting in an era with no Indian language data in the digital media, they have made significant progress in developing models that utilise at least 10,000 hours of data. With less than 7% of people in India being fluent in English, Pani emphasised the need for building AI models in Indian languages to cater to the majority of the population.
In celebration of Reverie’s 15th Foundation Day, this webinar promises to be an insightful and informative session for anyone interested in the digital landscape of Bharat. Register now to be a part of this event and gain valuable insights into the future of AI in Bharat.
