Sam Altman’s OpenAI is reportedly partnering with former Twitter India head Rishi Jaitly to understand and navigate the country’s policies and regulations on the artificial intelligence landscape. Jaitly is reportedly working as a senior advisor with the ChatGPT developer to facilitate talks with the Indian government about AI policy.
If the report is to be believed, "OpenAI is also looking to set up a local team in India."
Prior to moving to Twitter (now X) in 2012, Jaitly was associated with Google between 2007 and 2009 as head of the public-private partnership.
He was the company's first employee in the country, according to his LinkedIn profile.
After leaving Twitter in 2016, he became the co-founder and CEO of Times Bridge, the global investment arm of The Times Group.
Anna Makanju, OpenAI's vice president of global affairs, is set to address at the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) summit in Delhi next week.
While OpenAI currently lacks an official presence in India, recent developments include the approval of a trademark earlier this month.
