Microsoft may get charge for OpenAI India data localisation

As OpenAI explores ways to localise the data of Indian users for its generative AI model ChatGPT, the company is likely to rely on its largest investor Microsoft for the same, sources said.

One of the ways for localisation, which OpenAI is looking at, is leveraging Microsoft Azure data centres in the country. As part of Azure cloud services, Microsoft has data centres in India. This allows hosting of AI models, applications, and data storage within India.
