Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said that India is now the second-largest market for OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. He shared that OpenAI tripled its user base in India last year, showing how important the country is for the company.
India’s Role in AI
Altman said India is making great progress in AI by creating chips, developing AI models, and building AI applications. He believes India should be a leader in the AI field.
Altman’s Visit to India
Altman is visiting India and met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to talk about AI. He praised India’s progress and encouraged the country to continue improving in AI.
Competition from China
Altman’s visit comes as Chinese AI models, like DeepSeek, are becoming popular because they are cheaper to make than OpenAI’s models. However, Altman believes that OpenAI’s technology will stay ahead, and he encourages India to keep innovating in AI.
Future of AI in India
Altman also said that while AI development can be expensive, new methods like distillation are making it cheaper. He believes this will lead to more creativity in AI and that India should be part of that growth.
Altman’s Past Comments
In 2023, Altman said it would be hard for companies in India to create something like ChatGPT. Some people misunderstood his words, but Altman later explained that he still encourages India to try and create new AI solutions.
