'India is bigger than US for ChatGPT': Sam Altman
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed India is now OpenAI's largest market for ChatGPT, surpassing the United States, according to a recent interview. Altman highlighted the surge in AI adoption in India, contrasting it with a more skeptical outlook in the US. In an interview with Indian podcaster Raj Shamani, Altman detailed how Indians are leveraging ChatGPT to build businesses, solve problems, and seize new opportunities.
He noted the "builder energy" of people experimenting with AI technology to create companies and accomplish tasks more efficiently. Altman cited an example of an Indian student using OpenAI tools to organize fundraising efforts for his school, showcasing the technology's practical applications beyond mere content generation. While expressing enthusiasm for India's AI uptake, Altman also observed a more negative sentiment towards AI among Americans, suggesting a distinct cultural difference in public attitude compared to other regions.
He emphasized that in India, users are not only using ChatGPT for basic interactions but are actively exploring its potential for product development, entrepreneurial ventures, and project completion.
