Anew analysis of code-sharing platform GitHub has shown that India has eclipsed even the US when it comes to writing AI code. The new analysis conducted by the OECD of data from Microsoft-owned code-sharing platform GitHub reveals another contender in the AI race: India, which has succeeded in equipping its vast technology talent base with AI skills.
The data is gathered from public AI-related code repositories or repos that are hosted on the platform. Examining the location from where contributions, or ‘commits’, to these AI repos are made reveals that in 2019, India overtook the US as the principal source of AI-related code.
