Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, met with Prime Minister Modi in Delhi to talk about India’s amazing innovation scene. Earlier this week, Altman spoke to the students at the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi) and mentioned having a wonderful talk.
India’s future opportunities and how the nation could use AI to its fullest extent were topics of debate at the IIIT Delhi event. In an interview, Altman acknowledged the widespread use of ChatGPT among early users in India and lauded the nation’s technological advancements.
In order to advance the relationship with India, Altman stated the first thing he will do is provide funding for Indian businesses. He stated, “We were always amazed and quite grateful for the quality of Indian startups,” and he added that he had met various startup leaders in India.
Given that India’s IT sector is currently quite strong and that the nation has access to vast amounts of data, AI-based utilities have a lot of potential.
Earlier in February, the government, citing NASCOM data, stated that this year, the total number of AI specialists employed in India is expected to be around 416,000. The sector’s growth rate is predicted to be between 20 and 25 percent. By 2034, AI is anticipated to boost India’s economy by $957 billion.
