AI is becoming the biggest strategic differentiator that determines the economic prosperity of nations. India is the founding member of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI), having joined the multi-stakeholder initiative in June 2020.

An innovative initiative has been established to accelerate the AGI landscape with the launch of a new collaborative group aimed at building secure superintelligence.

This is an invitation-only group designed to bring together a diverse community of academics, developers, startups, enterprises, and venture capitalists (VCs) to ideate, breakout, build, and nurture the future of secure AGI worldwide.

According to Vinay Kumar Sankarapu, CEO and founder of Arya.ai and a leading figure in the AI ​​community, the goal is to build and grow an open source research community that can collectively generate ideas and solve multiple critical problems, “ laying the foundation for achieving secure superintelligence.”

The SSI group will dedicate two-thirds of its energies to research and one-third to applied machine learning and will have a presence in the United States, India, Singapore and the United Kingdom.

The initiative aims to foster collaboration between companies, academics, venture capitalists and the developer community to contribute to the creation of a sustainable SSI ecosystem.

The SSI Club initiative is spearheaded by Sankarapu, an AI innovator and IIT Bombay graduate. His experience is also due to his inclusion in the then Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's “Task Force on Artificial Intelligence for Economic Transformation” in August 2017.

The initiative is a joint effort by Arya.ai, Nayyan Mujadiya (@FutureG organizer and senior consulting staff member at Siemens EDA) and Nikhil Agarwal (@FutureG co-organizer and product security architect at Ethos, cybersecurity consultant).

Founded in 2013, Arya.ai has been one of the first AI startups to use deep learning and deploy it in enterprises.
