Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Thursday said that India will soon host Chinese AI startup on Indian servers which will address the privacy concerns regarding cross-border data transfer.
“DeepSeek is open source, will host it on Indian servers soon. This will address the privacy concerns regarding cross-border data transfer,” the Minister said.
He also announced that India will start AI safety institution.
“Making modern tech accessible to everyone, that is the economic thinking of our PM… Ours is the most affordable compute facility, at this point of time,” he said.
What Is DeepSeek?
DeepSeek hit the headlines recently for creating a sensation in the United States and other global markets for surpassing ChatGPT as the most popular free app on Apple Store.
The Chinese AI app is a low-cost resource-intensive chatbot whose R1 reasoning model reportedly costs merely $5.6 million of computing power compared to OpenAI’s GPT-4, which is for $100 million.
