OpenAI CEO meets Modi; PM says AI's potential for India's tech ecosystem vast

 The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing India's tech ecosystem is indeed vast, particularly among the youth, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday.


The Prime Minister reacted after meeting OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in the national capital.

"Thank you for the insightful conversation @sama. The potential of AI in enhancing India's tech ecosystem is indeed vast and that too among the youth in particular," PM Modi said in a tweet.

"We welcome all collaborations that can accelerate our digital transformation for empowering our citizens," he added.

Earlier in the day, Altman said that he met PM Modi and discussed India's incredible tech ecosystem with him.

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

"Great conversation with @narendramodi discussing India's incredible tech ecosystem and how the country can benefit from AI," Altman tweeted.

"Really enjoyed all my meetings with people in the @PMOIndia," he added.

Altman had said that the company behind ChatGPT is not presently training GPT5 -- the successor to GPT4.

"We have a lot of work to do before GPT5. It takes a lot of time. We are nowhere close to it," Altman said at a conference hosted by The Economic Times in Delhi.

"We're working on the new ideas that we think we need for it, but we are nowhere close to the start. There need to be more safety audits: I wish I could tell you about the timeline of the next GPT," he added.

Altman's comments come amid growing concern among AI researchers and Big Tech executives about the alarming pace at which the technology is developing.

In March, several top entrepreneurs and AI researchers, including Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, Co-founder of Apple, wrote an open letter, asking all AI labs to immediately pause training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 for at least six months.

Over 1,100 global AI researchers and executives signed the open letter to pause "all giant AI experiments".

After a few weeks, Altman acknowledged that the letter lacked the most technical nuance, but asserted that OpenAI hadn't started training GPT-5 and wouldn't do so for "some time".

In May, Altman admitted that if generative AI technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong, as US Senators expressed their fears about AI chatbots like ChatGPT.

Altman, who testified at a hearing in the US Senate in Washington, D.C., said that the AI industry needs to be regulated by the government as AI becomes "increasingly powerful".

Mom's bank account reduced to Rs 5 as daughter spends Rs 52 lakh on mobile games

 Gaming addiction is a serious problem with significant consequences when it goes out of control.

A recent incident in China illustrates the alarming impact of this addiction on individuals and their families. 

In just four months, a 13-year-old girl managed to exhaust her family's entire savings, which amounted to a shocking 449,500 yuan (approximately Rs 52,19,809), due to her excessive online gaming.

As per the South China Morning Post's report, this particular incident unravelled when the young girl's teacher became aware of her conspicuous indulgence in mobile phone usage during school hours.

Concerned about possible gaming addiction, the teacher informed the girl's mother.

Fearing the worst, the mother decided to investigate by checking the family's bank account.

The account balance was a mere 0.5 yuan (around Rs 5).

In a heart-wrenching video that went viral, the mother tearfully shared pages of bank statements, highlighting numerous payments made for mobile games.

When confronted by her father, the girl finally admitted to her actions.

She revealed that she had spent a staggering 120,000 yuan (approximately Rs 13,93,828) on game purchases and an additional 210,000 yuan (about Rs 24,39,340) on in-game transactions.

Shockingly, she had also used an additional 100,000 yuan (around Rs 11,61,590) to buy games for at least 10 of her classmates.

The girl explained that, despite her reluctance and fear, she had paid for her classmates' games.

Her limited understanding of money and its value significantly contributed to her impulsive behaviour.

The incident has ignited a heated debate among netizens on Chinese social media platforms regarding the allocation of responsibility in such a distressing situation.

Some argue that, at 13 years old, the girl should have been aware of the consequences of her actions.
