Did you know?
India will soon get its own AI, which can even beat ChatGPT.
I am not at all kidding. It’s currently being developed and is going to be called Hanooman AI.
Imagine a world where artificial intelligence (AI) speaks your mother tongue, understands your culture, and helps you easily navigate through the digital world. Well, this is no longer limited to just our imagination, it is soon going to be possible with Hanooman AI.
This hyper-local AI platform is set to change how we Indians interact with technology, making it easier, accessible and inclusive for everyone.
The Birth of Hanooman AI
During his visit to India, the OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that he did not think that Indians could be able to compete with a company like OpenAI because they would not be able to create something like ChatGPT.
Well, you have underestimated Indians, Mr. Sam Altman.
Hanooman AI is more than just another AI model; it’s a collaborative project brought to life by 3AI Holding through a partnership with Seetha Mahalaxmi Healthcare (SML) and IIT Bombay, with significant support from Reliance.
Unveiled on February 21 at an event in Mumbai, this AI is designed with a prime focus on India’s linguistic diversity. Also known as BharatGPT Hanooman, this platform supports 12 Indian languages and an impressive 98 global languages, making it a true game-changer.
You were saying something? Mr. Altman?
Key Languages Included:
- 12 Indian Languages: Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Oriya, Punjabi, Assamese, Telugu, Malayalam, and Sindhi.
- 98 Global Languages: Including English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, and more.
Why Hanooman AI Stands Out
While ChatGPT is a versatile AI model known for its broad language understanding and conversational abilities, Hanooman AI specializes in catering to the linguistic diversity and cultural nuances of India.
This AI isn’t just a tool; it’s a digital buddy that understands the nuances of Indian dialects and cultural contexts, making interactions feel more natural and personal.
Imagine, a farmer from a remote village in Uttar Pradesh, asking Hanooman AI, in his regional accent, to calculate and tell him what will be the estimated produce of his farm this year or an elderly woman asking Hanooman AI about how she can avail herself of the benefits from the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Can ChatGPT do that? A Big NO!
Key Innovations:
- Multilingual Mastery: Fluent support for 12 Indian languages.
- Cultural Sensitivity: Tailored responses that respect cultural nuances.
- Advanced NLP: Powered by state-of-the-art natural language processing techniques, similar to ChatGPT optimizing language models for dialogue.
Real-World Impact
Hanooman AI is not just an AI ChatBot; it’s a tool that can potentially have a positive impact across various sectors in India.
Positive Impact on Industries:
- Healthcare: AI can help diagnose symptoms in regional languages, which can later be validated by a doctor, making healthcare more accessible.
- Education: Acts as a multilingual tutor, enhancing learning experiences for students across both urban and rural India.
- Finance: Improves financial literacy, leading to an increase in financial inclusion.
- Governance: Facilitates better communication in public services, enhancing efficiency.
Hanooman AI‘s practical applications are vast and varied, promising to revolutionize multiple sectors across the country.
Safety and Accessibility
With the current issues related to data privacy with ChatGPT, user trust in AI tools is reducing. Especially after Apple announced that it is planning to incorporate ChatGPT in its products like iPhones and iPads. In the current scenario, when the public confidence in data privacy is at its lowest, ensuring the safety and privacy of users is crucial.
Hanooman AI is built with robust security measures to protect user data. The developers have implemented advanced encryption techniques and adhere to strict ethical guidelines to maintain user trust and safeguard their data. While ChatGPT serves as a powerful search engine, Hanooman AI would excel in providing culturally sensitive responses in various Indian languages.
Also, with AIPRM for ChatGPT being a popular tool for optimizing its performance, Hanooman AI will incorporate similar advanced protocols to enhance its multilingual capabilities and safety.
Safety Measures:
- Advanced Encryption: Protects user data.
- Regular Audits: Ensures ongoing security and privacy.
- Ethical Guidelines: Maintains transparency and user trust.
Future Prospects
The future of AI in India is both promising and exciting. With plans to expand its language support and enhance its capabilities, the platform aims to reach 200 million users in its first year.
Hanooman AI will explore how AI can enhance the process of creative writing by understanding context and nuances in multiple languages. It will also have an advanced text-to-speech capability compared to other AI tools. As part of the future of generative AI, Hanooman AI will aim to create more personalized and context-aware content for users.
As it is still in the development stage, it will be too early to forecast its prospects. However, one thing for sure is that it will continue to evolve and expand its capabilities while promising to transform communication and drive progress across multiple sectors in India.
Future Goals:
- Expanding Language Support: To include even more Indian and global languages.
- Reaching 200 Million Users: Ambitious target for the first year.
- Continuous Improvement: Ongoing enhancements to better serve users.
Bridging the Digital Divide
Hanooman AI represents a significant leap forward in making AI accessible and useful for the diverse population of India.
A few years back, we started from “Indians won’t be able to build something like ChatGPT” to seeing Indians developing a multilingual, culturally sensitive, advanced AI model that can potentially cater to more Indians than ChatGPT ever would. Isn’t this remarkable enough on its own?
Also, with the support of industry leaders like Mukesh Ambani and the collaborative efforts of institutions like SML and IIT Bombay, Hanooman AI is set to make a lasting impact on the way information is accessed, shared, and utilized in the country.
No one can forget the internet revolution Reliance JIO brought into this country after its launch. Will Hanooman AI do the same? We will wait and watch.
I strongly believe that this is just the beginning of a journey towards making AI an integral part of every Indian’s daily life.
