AI Kosh - India

AI Kosh

Recently, I stumbled across India’s data initiative for AI, AI Kosh. It is proposed as the “central nervous system” of the IndiaAI Mission: a national library of non-personal Indian datasets, a try-before-you-buy model sets, and subsidised GPU compute into one platform.

A bold vision, but it is still very early. The site still feels like a work-in-progress; most pages are thin, a mandatory sign-in is required, and discoverability is still evolving.

“AI Kosh is a unified hub where startups, researchers, and developers can discover, access, and integrate high-quality, India-relevant datasets, models, toolkits, and an in-browser sandbox.”

Quite a few interesting datasets are already available.

I also saw benefits galore.

AI Kosh is definitely a step forward for an inclusive, and responsible AI infrastructure for India.
