The AI Knowledge Platform’s core mission is to *replace scarce, expensive elements* (like lithium, cobalt, and nickel) with earth-abundant, easily available alternatives (such as coal, thorium, silica, and iron ore) using AI-driven design principles originally developed for semiconductor manufacturing. This approach combines advanced materials engineering, high-throughput process equipment, and large-scale manufacturing capabilities for rapid deployment.
The IIT Alumni Council acts as a knowledge partner and investor, incubating research startups and enabling industry collaboration with capital investments—often exceeding ₹10,000 crore—for pilot projects, commercialization, and global-scale manufacturing[1][2]. The Social Impact Fund supports startups in refining technologies for real-world deployment, fostering green chemistry and sustainable manufacturing (e.g., carbon-free green steel, eco-friendly alloys).
The AI Knowledge Platform is a visionary initiative that seeks to catapult India to global
leadership
in artificial intelligence by fostering innovation, research, and development. By harnessing the power of
AI, we
aim to build a robust ecosystem that drives nation-building and addresses pressing societal challenges.
Our platform is built on deep tech research-based AI solutions, developed in collaboration with esteemed
technology institutes, government R&D labs and global AI thought leaders. This synergy enables us to push
the
boundaries of AI applications and create impactful solutions.
Our AI platforms span multiple areas, including Gen AI for book authoring, Amat AI for novel
materials discovery, and Honesty AI for public office holders. Additionally, we are working on
Mapping AI for 3D automated map generation, Autonymi AI for self-driving and self-programming
systems,
Health AI for human body digital twins, and Weather AI for predictive weather updates.
These cutting-edge platforms are designed to transform industries and revolutionize the way we live and
work. By
leveraging AI, we can unlock new opportunities for growth, innovation, and progress. Our goal is to position
India as a global AI leader, driving economic growth, social development, and technological
advancement.
Through this initiative, we aspire to create a better future for all, powered by the limitless potential of
artificial intelligence.
