Revolutionizing AI with Smaller, Domain-Focused Models

N. Chandrasekaran, the chairperson of Tata Group, has highlighted the potential of smaller, domain-specific artificial intelligence (AI) models as the next significant advancement in technology. These models are not only more energy-efficient and cost-effective but also deliver faster results, making them highly relevant for specific industries.

Addressing the Energy Challenge

Chandrasekaran also emphasized the urgent need to reduce energy costs and explore alternative energy sources beyond solar and wind, such as small modular reactors (SMRs). He believes that the cost of energy is a critical factor for global growth and prosperity, requiring significant investment and innovation in new energy forms.

India's Unique Position in Global Trends

Expressing his conviction, Chandrasekaran stated that India is uniquely positioned to benefit from the current global trends and transitions, including the shift towards smaller AI models and the exploration of new energy sources. This perspective was shared at the NIT Trichy's global alumni meet, where he also discussed the importance of multimodal capabilities for AI engines and the potential for 2025 to be a landmark year for AI investments.
