Brazil recently sent one of its largest government delegations to India, including the president and various ministers, to attend the Indian Artificial Intelligence Summit in New Delhi. The summit was successful, attracting political leaders and top executives from technology companies, showcasing India as a rising tech power. However, it highlights the divergent paths between Brazil and India in terms of artificial intelligence and technological advancement, with India's approach proving more effective.

Since 2010, Brazil's economy has stagnated while India's GDP has soared over 150%, with India's economy currently double the size of Brazil's. This substantial economic growth in India has also been accompanied by an increased complexity in its economic structure; where once it primarily exported basic commodities such as cotton and tea in the 1990s, today it exports high-tech industrial goods, pharmaceuticals, and vehicles. The stark contrast in economic performance raises questions about Brazil's strategies moving forward, particularly in the tech sector.

Despite the significant talks and interactions aimed at fostering cooperation in artificial intelligence, Brazil still grapples with various challenges, both economically and technologically. As the two nations navigate their distinct technological journeys, Brazil must reassess its strategies to harness innovation and effectively compete on a global scale, especially in light of India's rapid advancements in the tech sphere.
