NEW DELHI: Open-Artificial Intelligence (AI) CEO Sam Altman on Friday said that he met India Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi and discussed India's incredible tech ecosystem with him.
Altman said he had a nice talk with Modi during his earlier this week addressing students and other audience members at the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi).
He tweeted: "Great discussion with @narendramodi about India's tremendous tech ecosystem and how the nation can benefit from AI. "Really enjoyed all my meetings with people in the @PMOIndia," he continued.
Altman previously stated that the organisation behind ChatGPT is not currently teaching GPT5, the replacement for GPT4. Before GPT5, we have a lot of work to accomplish. It requires lots of time. When speaking at a conference organised by The Economic Times in Delhi, Altman said, "We are nothing near it.
"We're working on the fresh concepts we believe are required, but we haven't even begun. I wish I could give you an idea of when the next GPT will be, but there should be additional safety audits, he said. The frightening rate at which AI researches and Big Tech executives are creating the technology has sparked Altman's views.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Twitter, and Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, among others, published an open letter in March requesting that all AI labs immediately halt training any AI systems more potent than GPT-4 for at least six months.
The open letter to halt "all giant AI experiments" was signed by more than 1,100 experts and executives from around the world. A few weeks later, Altman admitted that the letter missed the majority of technical complexity, but he insisted that OpenAI hadn't yet begun training GPT-5 and wouldn't do so for "some time."
As US Senators highlighted their concerns about AI chatbots like ChatGPT in May, Altman acknowledged that things could get very bad if generative AI technology went wrong. Altman stated that the government has to regulate the AI business since it is becoming "increasingly powerful" during a hearing in the US Senate in Washington, D.C.
