After calling India's AI efforts hopeless, Sam Altman now says India should be a leader in AI

India Today  

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who previously dismissed India's ability to develop large-scale AI models, has now said the country should play a leading role in artificial intelligence. Speaking at an event attended by Union Minister for Railways and Electronics & IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw, Altman highlighted India's growing role in AI and revealed that it is OpenAI’s second-largest market globally. While using global AI models can cost between $2.5 and $3 per hour, India’s AI computing resources will be available for less than Rs 100 per hour after a 40 per cent government subsidy. Altman, who recently announced OpenAI’s massive $500 billion ‘Stargate’ AI infrastructure project in the US, acknowledged that while AI development is costly, it offers a big long-term economic value.
