New Delhi: As the artificial intelligence (AI) race heats up globally, India has devised an exhaustive strategy to create a full AI stack and OpenAI is willing to collaborate with the country on this mission, Union Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said.
After meeting OpenAI Co-founder and CEO Sam Altman in the national capital, the Union Minister posted on X that Altman praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision around AI and overall aim to democratise technology.
"Had a super cool discussion with @sama on our strategy of creating the entire AI stack - GPUs, model, and apps. Willing to collaborate with India on all three," Minister Vaishnaw posted.
The Minister further stated that PM Modi "guides us to democratise technology" and Altman "appreciated PM's vision".
Earlier, Altman who is the owner of popular ChatGPT models, said India is a very important market for AI and the company's second biggest market globally.
