Investment a barrier to foundational AI entry, says Nadella

India must get into frontier work in artificial intelligence (AI) and build foundational models, but investment is a real entry barrier and just one mathematical breakthrough can change entire dynamics, Microsoft chairman and chief executive Satya Nadella said in New Delhi on Wednesday.

During his second day of Microsoft India AI Tour, Nadella said that India can do great work in the area of Indic languages and transforming its industries using AI.

"There's no reason why India can't do frontier work, but you can even define frontier pretty unique. So for example, I don't think the last known big breakthrough in AI frontier has happened. I always say we are one mathematical breakthrough away from that entire edifice being thrown out and being going after something else," Nadella said.
