The report from India Narrative called AI a "deeply interconnected technological system", which is bound to have dependencies and hence India should not fall into the illusion of targeting autonomy. Similarly, the Gulf states bring capital, energy and ambitions to become major centres of computing infrastructure. The report highlighted India's strengths to scale AI power such as the country's scale, huge technology workforce, a strong entrepreneurial sector, extensive digital public infrastructure and ties with advanced and developing economies. India AI Mission aims to convert some of these strengths into national capability.
