India to develop AI chip from scratch

RT:印度將從零開始開發(fā)人工智能芯片

New Delhi has embarked on a mission to develop its own artificial intelligence ecosystem in order to reduce reliance on Western tech giants

新德里已著手開發(fā)自己的人工智能生態(tài)系統(tǒng),以減少對(duì)西方科技巨頭的依賴

India has taken a key first step towards developing its own artificial intelligence chip from scratch, the newspaper Mint reported on Wednesday, citing officials. The initiative is aimed at lessening New Delhi’s dependence on Western tech giants, whose powerful processors have dominated the country’s AI landscape.

印度《mint報(bào)》周三援引官員的話報(bào)道說,印度已經(jīng)邁出了從零開始開發(fā)自己的人工智能芯片的關(guān)鍵性第一步。這一舉措旨在減少新德里對(duì)西方科技巨頭的依賴,因?yàn)槲鞣娇萍季揞^的強(qiáng)大處理器在印度的人工智能領(lǐng)域占據(jù)了主導(dǎo)地位。

The country’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) has partnered with state-owned IT and advanced computing centers, including the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), to design the chip from the ground up. The chip will leverage C-DAC’s expertise in building processors based on open-source ‘Risc-V’ core architecture that will have a set of openly accessible standards that can be used by others – akin to the Android architecture used by many smartphone makers.

該國(guó)電子和信息技術(shù)部(Meity)與包括先進(jìn)計(jì)算發(fā)展中心(C-DAC)在內(nèi)的國(guó)有信息技術(shù)和先進(jìn)計(jì)算中心合作,從頭開始設(shè)計(jì)這款芯片。該芯片將利用 C-DAC 在構(gòu)建基于開源 "Risc-V "內(nèi)核架構(gòu)的處理器方面的專業(yè)技術(shù),該架構(gòu)將擁有一套可供他人使用的公開標(biāo)準(zhǔn)--類似于許多智能手機(jī)制造商使用的安卓架構(gòu)。

The US has long been at the forefront of AI technology. Chips made by the company Nvidia power the AI behind popular tools such as ChatGPT. However, India is now looking to change this by developing its own AI chip, with work on the frxwork already underway, according to government officials quoted by the publication. They added that New Delhi has set a tentative timeline of 2027 for the production of these chips in India. Experts from Big Tech firms in the US and executives from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Committee (TSMC) are also reportedly consulting with Meity to help develop the chip.

長(zhǎng)期以來,美國(guó)一直走在人工智能技術(shù)的前沿。Nvidia 公司生產(chǎn)的芯片為 ChatGPT 等流行工具背后的人工智能提供了動(dòng)力。然而,印度現(xiàn)在正尋求通過開發(fā)自己的人工智能芯片來改變這種狀況,據(jù)該刊物援引政府官員的話說,有關(guān)框架的工作已經(jīng)開始。他們補(bǔ)充說,新德里已將在印度生產(chǎn)這些芯片的時(shí)間暫定為 2027 年。據(jù)報(bào)道,美國(guó)大型科技公司的專家和臺(tái)灣(地區(qū))半導(dǎo)體制造委員會(huì)(TSMC)的高管也正在與 Meity 協(xié)商,以幫助開發(fā)芯片。

India’s quest to develop its own proprietary AI chip reflects a growing trend globally towards indigenous AI technologies. This is particularly significant given the US’s dominance of the semiconductor segment, where it has raked in 70% of global semiconductor revenues, according to the research firm Gartner. The US has recently introduced new regulations limiting the export of AI chips, tightening rules for companies such as Nvidia, in an effort to curb China’s technological advancements.

印度尋求開發(fā)自己的專有人工智能芯片,這反映了全球日益傾向于采用本土人工智能技術(shù)的趨勢(shì)。根據(jù)研究公司 Gartner 的數(shù)據(jù),美國(guó)在半導(dǎo)體領(lǐng)域占據(jù)主導(dǎo)地位,其收入占全球半導(dǎo)體收入的 70%,因此這一點(diǎn)尤為重要。美國(guó)最近出臺(tái)了限制人工智能芯片出口的新法規(guī),收緊了對(duì) Nvidia 等公司的規(guī)定,以遏制中國(guó)的技術(shù)進(jìn)步。

In response to these regulations, both India and China have recently made announcements regarding AI. The Indian government in January approved 18 proposals aimed at accelerating AI solutions in key sectors such as agriculture and climate change. This initiative is a key component of the $1.2 billion IndiaAI mission that seeks to develop both large and small language models.

針對(duì)這些規(guī)定,印度和中國(guó)最近都發(fā)布了有關(guān)人工智能的公告。印度政府在 1 月份批準(zhǔn)了 18 項(xiàng)提案,旨在加快農(nóng)業(yè)和氣候變化等關(guān)鍵領(lǐng)域的人工智能解決方案。這一舉措是耗資 12 億美元的 IndiaAI 計(jì)劃的重要組成部分,該計(jì)劃旨在開發(fā)大型和小型語(yǔ)言模型。

China, meanwhile, recently unveiled DeepSeek, a new AI assistant that caused ripples in the industry when it was released and elicited favorable comparisons to OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It has already surpassed ChatGPT as the most popular AI assistant on Apple’s App Store.

與此同時(shí),中國(guó)最近推出了一款新的人工智能助手 DeepSeek,一經(jīng)發(fā)布就在業(yè)界引起了軒然大波,并引起了人們的好評(píng)——相對(duì)于 OpenAI 的 ChatGPT 。它已經(jīng)超越 ChatGPT,成為蘋果應(yīng)用商店中最受歡迎的人工智能助手。
