Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is set to visit India this week as part of his world tour to help shape regulatory frameworks for artificial intelligence (AI). During his visit, Altman will be meeting with ministers to discuss how to promote and regulate AI development.
Altman is known for his ChatGPT chatbot, which gained attention for its versatility in composing music, writing poetry, and generating essays. OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, is expected to release a new open-source language model to the public.
India’s burgeoning AI talent pool and government investments in AI initiatives have made it a promising location for exploration and collaboration in the field. Altman’s visit is seen as an acknowledgement of India’s potential and an opportunity to strengthen ties between OpenAI and the Indian AI community.
Altman will also be visiting Israel, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, and South Korea as part of his tour, which is aimed at creating regulatory frameworks that limit the damages of AI while allowing for its development to its fullest potential.
