The Hong Kong‑based newspaper released an opinion piece arguing that India need not choose between a U.S.‑led or China‑led AI trajectory.
The South China Morning Post published an opinion piece titled "In AI, India’s choice needn’t be between a US leash or Chinese hook," arguing that India can pursue an independent AI strategy.
The article contends that the current global AI landscape, dominated by U.S. and Chinese interests, offers India a chance to carve out a distinct path that balances innovation with sovereignty.
It highlights the importance of developing domestic talent, fostering local research ecosystems, and engaging with a broader set of international partners.
The piece adds to the ongoing debate about India’s role in the emerging AI economy and the need for policies that reflect national priorities rather than external pressures.
