Sam Altman, Ashwini Vaishnaw explore collab as global AI race intensifies

OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman met with India’s IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Wednesday to discuss India’s push for a low-cost AI ecosystem, including the development of GPUs, AI models, and applications.

The meeting may signal OpenAI’s growing interest in India’s artificial intelligence (AI) landscape, even as the company faces legal hurdles in its second-largest market by user base.
