AI Watch: Why India is caught in the middle of the US-China battle for chips and models

At a closed-door G7 lunch in Évian, Anthropic's Dario Amodei and Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis pushed for a US-led coalition to set AI rules, reportedly aiming to cut China out of chip and model access. Macron and Modi pushed back, warning of dependence risks. The fallout is hitting India hardest: despite leading the world in daily AI use, it lacks frontier chips and models, fueling calls for state investment as funds keep flowing into data centers from CPP, AirTrunk and Meta-Reliance. Disclosure: Network18, the parent company of CNBCTV18.com, is controlled by Independent Media Trust, of which Reliance Industries is the sole beneficiary.
