‘India should not even try to build foundational AI models’ comment was taken out of context: Sam Altman

New Delhi: Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, said on Wednesday that his statement that India should “not even try” to build its own foundational AI models was taken out of context. “In reference to the comment I made in India a few years ago about the cost of building foundational AI models, it was taken out of context. This can lead to an explosion of creativity, and India should be a leader there.” At an interaction during his maiden visit to India in June 2023, Altman had said India “should not even try” to build foundational AI models. While not referencing DeepSeek directly, Altman said that the reduction in cost of AI is a natural way forward, and India’s work through developers and startups is a part of this evolution.
