'Google is studying Al bias in Indian context'
Mint Mumbai
|June 29, 2023
Google hosted on Wednesday a developer event in Bengaluru, opening access to its Pathways Language Model (PaLM) large language model (LLM) to Indian developers.
In an interview, Manish Gupta, director of Google Research India, spoke about improving the quality of data available in Indian languages, what Google is doing to address computing access issues for Indian researchers, and the differences in addressing AI bias in India and in the West. Edited excerpts:
Alongside opening your PaLM API for developer access, would Google also be backing developer projects in India?
Today, there are so many startups and developers looking to build solutions that serve these customers. What we’re now enabling is for them to start using our APIs, to build these solutions. We also have various teams, including customer engineering units and at our Google Cloud division, who already have pre-existing relationships with many developers. Depending on that, these teams will provide further hand-holding and assistance in terms of making the most of our generative AI APIs.
