India is making a significant push to establish itself as a leader in artificial intelligence (AI) by developing a 'data city' in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to close the AI gap with the United States and China. Recently, UN Chief António Guterres emphasized that it is 'totally unacceptable' for AI to be a privilege of only the most developed countries, highlighting the importance of inclusive access to AI technologies. This sentiment aligns with India's ambitions as it secures investment agreements worth $175 billion across 760 projects, including a $15 billion investment by Google for its largest AI infrastructure hub outside the U.S. Additionally, a joint venture involving Reliance Industries, Brookfield, and Digital Realty is investing $11 billion in an AI data center in the city.
