OpenAI working with ex-Twitter India head on AI landscape

1 of 1

New Delhi. Sam Altman’s OpenAI is reportedly working with ex-Twitter India head Rishi Jaitley to help ChatGPS developers understand Indian government policies and regulations regarding AI.

According to a report by TechCrunch, Jaitley is working as a senior advisor with OpenAI to facilitate conversations with the government about AI policy.

“OpenAI is also considering setting up a local team in India,” the report said on Saturday.

OpenAI or Jaitley have not yet commented on the report.

Jaitley served as head of public-private partnerships for Google in India from 2007 to 2009 before moving to Twitter (now X) in 2012.

According to his LinkedIn profile, he was the company’s first employee in the country.

Jaitley left Twitter in late 2016 and became co-founder and CEO of Times Bridge, the global investment arm of The Times Group.

Anna Makanju, OpenAI’s vice president of global affairs, is set to address the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) summit in Delhi next week.

OpenAI currently does not have an official presence in the country. In June, Altman met Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to India and discussed India’s tech ecosystem with him.

Altman, who also addressed students and others at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi), said he had a very good conversation with PM Modi.

“Had a great conversation with PM Narendra Modi discussing India’s tech ecosystem and how the country can benefit from AI,” Altman had posted on X.

Altman encouraged Indian startups to explore new avenues and contribute innovative ideas to the world.
