Despite the adverse impact of artificial intelligence on society, the global economic and political downturn has solidified the undeniable evidence of AI’s significant growth. In a trailblazing announcement, Ola’s Bhavish Agarwal revealed his plan to launch Krutrim AI.
He enthusiastically shared the news on X, along with a video disseminating invites for the Krutrim AI launch, which is projected to impact 1.4 billion people in the future. For those questioning the event’s timing, the live stream is already available on the newly unlatched ‘Krutrim AI’ YouTube channel. You can access it even after the livestream concludes.
The new AI is promoted with the tagline ‘India’s first full-stack AI.’ The company emphasizes that Krutrim is meticulously crafted to integrate with the fabric of India, incorporating local knowledge, languages, and data. The company asserts that Krutrim is India’s own, and we can build it instead of relying on Western products.
In a post on X, Bhavish Aggarwal shared invites in numerous regional languages, highlighting the AI tool’s acumen in working with different regional languages. The video is available in English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Marathi. In broader terms, he conveyed that they will be ‘launching India’s own AI Krutrim.’ He further stated, ‘We’re all set to transform industries and lives and put the power of AI in the hands of 1.4 billion people.’
Earlier this year, Ola CEO Bhavish Aggarwal mentioned that AI is poised to be a ‘very strong force for cultural assimilation.’ He stressed that India needs its own AI since many popular large language models are trained on non-Indian data. He also emphasized the importance of training AI in various ‘Bharatiya languages.
