ChatGPT-maker OpenAI CEO Sam Altman may visit India next week: Why this is important

Sam Altman, CEO of the Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence firm OpenAI, is scheduled to visit India next week, a report has said. This visit comes at a time for the ChatGPT-maker when it navigates legal hurdles in the country and faces competition from Chinese rivals.

Citing sources, news agency Reuters claimed that Altman is expected to arrive in New Delhi on February 5, with a possible meeting with government officials on the agenda. While the schedule is still tentative, the visit underscores the importance of the Indian market for OpenAI, which boasts the second-largest user base for the company’s AI chatbot, ChatGPT.
