KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 15 (Bernama) -- The National Institution for Transforming India (NITI Aayog) -- the premier policy think tank for the Indian Government -- and Perlin Network have partnered to develop artificial intelligence using distributed computing infrastructure in India.
The partnership will also develop the concept of an ‘India cloud’ based on distributed computing resources, a statement said.
It will initially focus on machine learning and multi-party computation, with the goal of establishing and promoting distributed computing markets for these rapidly-growing sectors throughout India.
Both companies will work together to conduct joint research, facilitate industry and government interactions, exchange valuable learnings, organise local forums as well as conduct a hackathon to explore other use cases for distributing computing on the Perlin Network.
Perlin will also bring partners to supply computing power from unused smartphones and computers based in India to its network in order to create a domestic and decentralised cloud infrastructure.
The nationwide scale and depth of world-leading technical expertise encompassed by the collaboration is expected to result in substantial benefits across the respective networks of both NITI Aayog and Perlin.
Perlin is committed to helping the Indian Government realise its grand ambition for India’s AI future and the more efficient utilisation of its rapidly-growing national computing infrastructure.
An indicative roadmap for the partnership will see developments rolled out over the next 12 months, with the Perlin’s Testnet scheduled to be released in September this year. More details at http://www.niti.gov.in or https://www.perlin.net.
