- Story Text:India is one of the biggest markets for AI in the world, however its expansion will have an adverse impact on the country's job market, said OpenAI Chief Sam Altman on Thursday (February 19).
Top executives from global AI giants joined several world leaders in New Delhi for the AI impact summit, at a time when India is trying to lure more investment in the industry.
"AI will definitely impact the job market, but we always find new things to do, and I have no doubt we will find lots of better ones this time," he said.
Indian officials are positioning the India AI Impact Summit, which started on Monday, as a platform to amplify the voices of developing nations in global AI governance. - Copyright Holder: ANI (India)
