An Expert Explains | ‘Five years from now, many everyday AI tasks may run locally on devices’

MIT Associate Professor Ramesh Raskar envisions a future where personalized AI agents run locally on devices rather than centralized platforms. Raskar argues that decentralized AI will prioritize user autonomy and data ownership, comparing the shift to cooking in one's own kitchen versus ordering from a menu. He suggests that India's Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) could provide the necessary platform for such a decentralized ecosystem.
