About the Session
Raghav Aggarwal took the stage at the Republic AI Summit, engaging a sharp audience of thinkers and media leaders questioning India’s path in the global AI race.Last week, the real question wasn’t “Can India build its own GPT?” but “Should India build AI the same way the world has?” Raghav unpacked how most global models, trained on English-heavy Western data, falter on Indian languages, culture, nuance, and behavior, leading to bias, lost context, and eroded trust. He explained why fine-tuning falls short and what a true Indic model demands, sparking a lively exchange with Niranjan Narayanaswamy on detecting ChatGPT in newsrooms.Raghav highlighted the surprisingly simple ways to spot AI overuse, turning the discussion into a fun, insightful look at building trustworthy AI for India’s unique realities.Speakers:Raghav Aggarwal - Managing Director and Co-Founder, Fluid AI
