OpenAI’s Sam Altman, PM Modi Discuss AI Potentiala
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated the discussion with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 8 June was fantastic and that the PM was passionate about AI.
The conference takes place at an interesting time, as India attempts to regulate AI in the impending Digital Indian Bill, which will replace the Information Technology (IT) Act, and the government’s approach to regulation differs from Altman’s.
Answering questions at the Digital India Dialogues, Altman said, “It was great. It was really fun. He was so enthusiastic, really thoughtful about AI, and the benefits of it. We asked why India has embraced ChatGPT so much and so early. It’s really been fun for us to watch. He had great answers about that.”
He added that they also talked about what opportunities India presents for AI, and about regulation.
“We talked about the opportunities in front for the country, what the country should do, also the need to think about global regulation to make sure we prevent some of the downsides from happening — but it was a great hour,” the OpenAI CEO said.
