Opinion | State As AI Shareholder: The Washington Model India Can't Ignore

An opinion piece published by NDTV argues that India should examine Washington state's approach to government involvement in artificial intelligence. The article, titled "State As AI Shareholder: The Washington Model India Can't Ignore," presents the case for the state taking an equity stake in AI companies.

The piece highlights Washington state's model, where the government acts as a shareholder in certain technology ventures. It suggests this approach could offer India a framework for balancing innovation with public interest in the rapidly evolving AI sector.

The author contends that by adopting a similar model, India could ensure that the benefits of AI development are more broadly shared. The opinion piece does not provide specific policy recommendations but frames the Washington model as a potential template for India's AI strategy.
