What happened?
Sam Altman, OpenAI Chief, will visit India on February 5, 2025. This will be his first visit to India after 2023 when he visited PM Shri Narendra Modi to discuss the potential of India’s AI ecosystem.
Why it Matters to India:
Big tech giants are battling for territories and users with the AI race heating up. Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft and a partner of OpenAI, announced in the first week of January 2025 a 3 billion USD investment in AI Infrastructure in India. Sam’s visit also comes at at time when his company is facing lawsuits from Indian media companies for copyright infringement.
