India Welcomes DeepSeek Despite Past China Tech Bans - India plans to host Chinese AI lab DeepSeeks models domestically, marking a rare tech collaboration with China. Despite past bans on Chinese apps, this move aligns with India's data localization laws. The models will operate from India's new AI Compute Facility, offering significant discounts on computing services, addressing privacy concerns by keeping data local.
This initiative coincides with India's efforts to develop its own AI technology and infrastructure. Deeper AI integration is part of India's broader strategy to enhance its AI capabilities across sectors like agriculture and climate change.
