Google Cloud has announced that it is making a major change in its artificial intelligence (AI) operations in India. Indian companies have already been using Gemini and other Google AI services through the cloud, with their data staying within India. What is changing is where Google's latest AI models run.
In an exclusive interview with ET, Google Cloud chief executive Thomas Kurian said the company is now deploying its latest AI models on infrastructure located inside India, allowing enterprises to keep their data as well as AI processing within the country. The move points to a broader shift underway in global cloud computing, where the location of AI infrastructure is becoming as important as the AI models themselves.
