The Lenovo Group Ltd. has started manufacturing AI servers in Pondicherry, India. A major leap for India toward achieving the dream of becoming a high-tech hub.
The Chinese technology giant will be setting up its third research lab, specializing in artificial intelligence, besides expanding its operation in Bangalore.
This investment falls under the efforts by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to raise technology investments in India.
New AI servers will be employed to provide services such as generative AI apps like ChatGPT. Lenovo's expansion reflects the rising role of India in the world of tech, offering a future alternative for traditional manufacturing hubs as geopolitical tensions rise.
India’s technology manufacturing sector is much smaller compared to that of China but is rapidly growing and can now produce pretty advanced products like iPhones. Now, it could pride itself on the inclusion of AI servers in its ranks as a move to become a major force in high-end tech production.
This shift from Taiwan, currently the leader in the production of AI servers, shows that geopolitical issues affect the global tech industry. With an unprecedented need for tools in AI, the AI servers’ market is to grow potentially to US$150 billion by 2027.
This is yet another step in the Indian government’s push towards revolutionizing the country’s tech sector with AI, the future of technology. The Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting also aims to soon release an AI and ML-based dashboard for the analysis of news and prediction of trends.
PM Modi used the Bhashini AI tool to translate his speech at a recent rally in Uttar Pradesh. The Union Law Ministry is also pushing to develop an AI in the same year, by December. This AI tool would be able to translate legal documents accurately into several Indian languages, providing more inclusivity.
