Nadella highlighted the need for India to adopt cutting-edge AI work while remaining mindful of the capital-intensive nature of the field.

In response to a question from Abhishek Singh, additional secretary in the ministry of electronics and IT (MeitY), about whether India should focus on creating its own AI models or leverage open-source alternatives, Nadella pointed out the high costs associated with building large language models (LLMs).
