Artificial intelligence (AI) can propel India as a global tech leader without pioneering cutting-edge AI models, states Dev Rishi, Rubrik’s AI General Manager. He emphasizes that enterprises’ main challenge lies in governance, security, and compliance rather than AI capabilities. Rishi highlights that the world is at an early stage of AI adoption, with a shift towards AI systems performing tasks within organizations for enhanced efficiency and returns on investment.
Rubrik, a cyber resilience firm, has introduced AI products to aid enterprises in recovering swiftly from cyber threats and managing AI agents securely. Rishi notes that concerns over governance and security, not technology constraints, hinder large enterprises’ AI adoption. He stresses the need for AI to secure and govern AI systems, emphasizing the importance of AI in overcoming security challenges.
Rishi offers a global perspective on AI, predicting its widespread adoption worldwide, contrary to the US-China competitive narrative. He praises India’s tech talent and education system, positioning the country well in the AI landscape. While acknowledging India’s lag in foundational model development compared to the US and China, Rishi believes India can excel in AI by focusing on applications and business tools development, facilitating quicker returns on investment for organizations.
