Sam Altman believes that India has great potential in artificial intelligence.
Altman stated that the organisation responsible for ChatGPT is not currently engaged in training GPT5.
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, revealed that he had a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently in the capital city of India. During their discussion, Altman expressed admiration for India’s remarkable tech ecosystem and explored ways for the country to leverage artificial intelligence. Altman shared his enthusiasm for the conversations he had with various individuals in the Prime Minister’s Office.
During a conference, Altman stated that the organization responsible for ChatGPT is not currently engaged in training GPT5, the successor to GPT4. Altman emphasized that there is a significant amount of work to be done before reaching the development stage of GPT5 and that it is still distant on the horizon.
Altman expressed that his team is currently focusing on generating new concepts required for GPT5, but emphasised that they are far from commencing its development. He highlighted the importance of conducting additional safety audits and mentioned that he is unable to provide a specific timeline for the release of the next GPT.
These remarks from Altman reflect the growing apprehension among AI researchers and leaders in the tech industry regarding the rapid advancement of AI technology. In March, prominent figures such as Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and Twitter, and Steve Wozniak, Co-founder of Apple, penned an open letter urging AI labs to temporarily halt training AI systems more advanced than GPT-4 for a minimum of six months.
Following the open letter signed by more than 1,100 global AI researchers and executives, calling for a pause in “all giant AI experiments,” Altman acknowledged that although the letter lacked technical nuance, OpenAI had not initiated training for GPT-5 and had no immediate plans to do so.
Altman further admitted in May, during his testimony at a US Senate hearing in Washington, D.C., that if generative AI technology malfunctions, the consequences can be significant.
This statement came as US Senators expressed their concerns about AI chatbots like ChatGPT. Altman emphasized the need for government regulation in the AI industry due to its increasing power.
