Sam Altman to visit India today, meeting scheduled with PM Modi

OpenAI’s chief Sam Altman will visit India today (Wednesday), in what will be his first visit in two years at a time when the company faces legal challenges in the country. Among others, Altman is expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and minister of electronics and IT Ashwini Vaishnaw.

The visit, which is part of Altman’s ongoing tour of Asia, comes a few days after the emergence of Chinese AI rival DeepSeek. The Chinese firm’s AI Assistant has overtaken ChatGPT to become the top-rated free app on Apple’s App Store in the US.
