OpenAI extends its support to India’s AI Missions

Open AI Vice President Srinivas Narayanan said that his company which runs ChatGPT will support the AI Missions and application development initiatives of India.

“Open AI is committed to backing India in its India AI Mission and application development initiatives to ensure that Indian developers can build on our models and benefit society,” Narayanan said.

He spoke this while addressing the Global India AI Summit in the national capital. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) hosted the two-day Global India AI Summit 2024 in New Delhi.

The OpenAI executive has asked the Union Ministry of Information and Technology to continue with the conversations where the company can add value.

Having recognised the importance of the Indian market, Narayanan said that the OpenAI leadership has placed the country on top while making policies.

“We have been developing a growing habit as a leadership team to keep learning from India. We’re keeping India in mind in whatever important decisions we are making,” the OpenAI VP said.

Speaking about the progress in the field of AI, he said that in the last decade, the entire field has witnessed huge progress in AI. “We launched GPT just 1.5 years ago. We thought it would be a low-key research preview, but in the last 18 months, we have seen that people are using it in transformative ways, and it’s impacting people’s daily lives, including here in India,” he said.
