Dr. Ajay Kumar’s AI Nation is an Amazon bestseller, which delves into most facets of AI, and more importantly locates AI in the national landscape of India. The book provides more than a peripheral view of AI as it is written by a policymaker who has stood at the intersection of defence, digital governance, and national security. He explores topics such as the influence of AI on jobs, and whether differentiation will survive when everyone has AI. He strategically focuses his research on the argument that technology has made the world steeper, by challenging Thomas Friedman's idea behind his book, The World is Flat. The book is divided into four different sections namely, The AI Opportunity, Building India’s AI Infrastructure, AI for Security and Governance, and AI, Society and Geopolitics. Through these sections, Dr. Kumar examines how India’s AI Future can be powered strategically, and why it is a need of the hour. He brings to focus how data is converted to AI power and why India must build its data centre industry now. He states that personal data is wealth in this era, and that individuals draw value from their data.
