On Tuesday, the minister had shared that IndiaAI Mission has signed an agreement with Parliament to leverage the latter's data for the development of an indigenous artificial intelligence technology. 
 
He had said it is important to develop our own LLM (large language model like ChatGPT) as open source technology available at present may not remain open in future like OpenAI. 
The government is also focussing on the development of indigenous GPU (graphics processing unit) chips which is very important to build compute infrastructure to support AI development.
