The OpenAi CEO, Sam Altman, said on Wednesday that the country is important for artificial intelligence and openai, and added that India, with its full battery model, should be among the leaders of the AI revolution.
Altman, during a talk by the fire with Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, said Openai tripled its users here in the last year. He gave a support sounding to India’s efforts in the construction of AI at all levels of the pile, chips, models and “incredible applications.”
“India is an incredibly important market for AI in general, for the Open in particular, it is our second largest market. The tripled users here in the last year, but mainly seeing what people in India are building with AI at all levels of the pile, chips, models, you know, all incredible applications “, Altman, who is in a Torbellino of India, said.
Altman advocated that India was everything in his game. “I think India should be one of the leaders of the AI revolution. But it is really surprising to see what the country has done … He embraced technology and is building the entire battery of things on top, “Altman said.
When asked about his advice, since India seems to have a global voice in AI and take a leadership post, Altman said “I think it’s working.” Altman’s upward opinion about India’s efforts is a revealing statement, since he had faced a reaction in 2023, when he had expressed doubts about the powerful models of AI that emerge outside the United States.
During the Fireside chat on Wednesday, Ti Vaishnaw Minister said innovation can come from anywhere in the world and “why shouldn’t India come from India?”
Altman’s visit, his second in two years, reaches an interesting juncture when the domain of the world of OpenAi (and in fact the western world) in artificial intelligence has been challenged abruptly by the Chino Deepseek burden, which caught attention with attention with Its low -cost AI model, built. With less than $ 6 million and command a calculation power fraction compared to popular models such as Chatgpt.
Deepseek surpassed Chatgpt as the best classified free application in Apple’s application store, such as the United States technology industry, which has injected a lot of time justified billions of dollars in AI investments, observed with disbelief last week.
The AI chips manufacturer and the Wall Street Nvidia superstar show $ 590 billion in market capitalization last Monday, suffering the highest value of one day value of any company in history.
Before Altman’s visit, a video of him 2023 of him, where he had expressed doubts about the powerful AI models that emerge outside the United States, has also resurfaced.
The United States has been accelerating its AI efforts and last month, President Donald Trump announced up to $ 500 billion in the private sector to finance artificial intelligence infrastructure.
The new company, Stargate, which is being created in association with Oracle, Softbank and Open AI backed by Microsoft, would join the large investments of technological companies in the US data centers. UU., Huge buildings full of servers that They provide massive computer power.
On Monday, the Japanese technology giant Softbank Group and Openai intensified their AI association with a 50:50 company held: SB OpenAi Japan.
Altman’s visit also assumes the importance since Openai faces legal obstacles in India, including cases that involve claims of copyright violations. According to reports, OpenAI has maintained that only use publicly available data and has argued that the Indian courts have no jurisdiction to listen to the matter.
With the increasingly dynamic and complex global technological panorama, India is fortifying its sovereign interests with its own AI model.
Last week, India described the global ambitions of AI with plans to build its own “fundamental model” that could assume the power of Chatgpt, Deepseek R1 and others, since it was aligned in the installation of “more affordable” common computing 18,693 GPU to be used by new companies and researchers, to create artificial intelligence applications and new algorithms.
Ti Ashwini Vaishnaw minister announced that India is ready to launch his own safe and safe indigenous model at an affordable cost. He said that compared to global models that cost $ 2.5-3 per hour of use, the Indian AI model will cost less than $ 100 per hour after a 40% subsidy of the government.
The minister had expressed his confidence that India will build a fundamental model that is world class and that he can compete with the best models worldwide.
