Building AI systems for a billion people
Population-scale technology is not a bigger version of a lab demo. It is a different engineering discipline.
Scale changes the problem. Languages multiply, connectivity varies, edge cases become populations and a small failure rate becomes millions of failed interactions.
Systems for India must be designed for heterogeneity from the first line of code. Voice, text and images are not optional channels. Deployment cannot assume one cloud, one device or one language.
Building for a billion people means making resilience a product decision—not an infrastructure afterthought.
