AI Model Development in Sanskrit
India is encouraged to develop a multilingual AI model that is trained in Sanskrit, the ancient language of the subcontinent. This initiative can serve multiple purposes:
Preservation of Ancient Wisdom
- Ancient Sanskrit texts contain rich repositories of philosophical wisdom and detailed accounts of India's significant achievements in various fields such as:
- Science
- Medicine
- Mathematics
- Engineering
- Literature
- The Arts
- These texts span over 2,000 years and hold key insights that could be made accessible to the modern world through AI.
Retelling History
- AI can help in recounting history with fresh perspectives. An example is the reign of Lalitaditya, the 8th-century ruler of Kashmir:
- Known for constructing the famous Martand sun temple.
- His empire extended up to Iran and Central Asia.
- His contributions are not well-represented in mainstream historical literature, highlighting the need for AI in presenting a comprehensive historical narrative.
