  • Why IMF perception about India being a ‘Second-Tier’ AI Player, needs a revisit

    Why IMF perception about India being a ‘Second-Tier’ AI Player, needs a revisit
    Jan 23 2026
    “Instead of arguing about Tier-1 or Tier-2, the real question is whether AI will actually benefit 1.44 crore people.” In this episode of Mint Techcetra, we begin with IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw pushing back against the IMF’s ‘second-tier AI’ label for India, and ask whether this whole idea of ranking countries into AI tiers is even useful anymore. From Stanford’s AI rankings to India’s growing ecosystem of foundational models, local language datasets, voice AI, chips, and data centre infrastructure, we discuss why India is often called an applications hub and whether that makes it any less of an AI innovator. Is the world judging India by the right parameters, or is the tier debate just a distraction from what’s actually being built? The conversation then moves from national ambition to workplace reality, as we unpack findings from the Randstad Workmonitor 2026. Why do employees believe AI is boosting productivity and shareholder value but not necessarily their own outcomes? Why are many workers turning to AI for advice instead of their managers, even while claiming they have strong manager relationships? From the growing “AI reality gap” to questions around trust, reskilling, and execution, this episode connects India’s AI with what it means on the ground and whether this transition is really inclusive, or just efficient.

    The Clash Between Grok’s Spicy Mode and India’s Local Laws, Plus Our Favourite Tech Gadgets from CES 2026
    Jan 13 2026
    “This is not really a question of morality; it’s about respecting the laws of the land.”In this episode, hosts Leslie D'Monte and Shouvik Das break down why Elon Musk’s Grok found itself in trouble across nations like India, Malaysia, and the European Union. We examine the controversy surrounding its "Spicy Mode" within India’s legal framework, debating whether platforms or users should be held responsible when AI-generated content crosses the line into obscenity.The episode also moves to the Las Vegas strip for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026. While CES is traditionally known for showcasing life-changing robots that can handle your laundry, cooking, or cleaning, but two particular innovations caught our eye this year. First is Lenovo’s AI glass concept, a pair of smart glasses weighing just 40 grams, making them as light as, or even lighter than, many standard spectacles. They promise a full-fledged augmented reality experience, capable of rolling text in front of your eyes and providing real-time language translation, all while lasting up to eight hours on a single charge. We also highlight the Napster holographic display and the Lumen glasses designed to assist the visually impaired.To hear the full breakdown of our top picks. Tune in to the episode now.
