ChatGPT maker OpenAI will hold a developer gathering in Bengaluru in January to interact with Indian techies on safety issues in artificial intelligence, a top company executive said on December 12.
"I am delighted to announce we will hold a developer gathering with our VP of engineering Srinivas Narayanan in Bengaluru in January with more to follow. Our plan is to convene developers here in India alongside OpenAI product leaders to address some of the most difficult safety challenges," said Anna Makanju, Open AI's vice president of Global Affairs.
Makanju said that India has a talent pool, and extraordinary technology businesses and is a critical player on the global stage.
"We have learnt how important it is to develop governance models for AI. We have worked with the Biden Administration and G7... We must develop an international body to ensure that the most powerful technology is safe and the benefits of it are equally distributed," she added while speaking at the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) Summit in Delhi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the GPAI summit on December 12, and international delegates are expected to engage in several sessions revolving around AI. As part of the event, the government is working on a multi-country, consensus-based declaration on AI, specifically on ways to mitigate risks and foster innovation.
The GPAI India meet marks the first major event of the alliance’s new council chair, India. The country took over from France as the GPAI council chair in November.
“As the Lead Chair of the GPAI, India reaffirms its commitment to harnessing technology, particularly AI, for the welfare of people, ensuring that nations of the Global South are not the last to reap its benefits. India is dedicated to clearing the path for a regulatory framework that ensures Safe and Trusted AI, bringing all nations together for widespread and enduring implementation,” PM Modi had said earlier in a blog post about the summit on LinkedIn.
