India becomes ground zero in the global AI race
India is no longer just another large market for global tech companies. It has suddenly become the frontline of the global race to dominate artificial intelligence. The latest signal came this week, when OpenAI formally set up an Indian unit and announced plans to open its first office in New Delhi later this year.
“The level of excitement and opportunity for AI in India is incredible. India has all ingredients to become a global AI leader, amazing tech talent, a world-class developer ecosystem, and strong government support through the India AI Mission,” said Sam Altman, co-founder and chief executive at OpenAI.
