Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, has traveled to India for several times in recent months. His Asian trip has so far seen a number of new products unveiling, and his next trip to India is expected to come up with important news that will address the country’s special needs.
Smart interfaces
India, with a wide user base, is a major candidate for designing easier and more visible ChatGpt interfaces to meet local needs. In this regard, the announcement of Openai in December last December about adding a phone call to ChatGPT is interesting. This feature eliminates the need for internet connection or advanced devices, which means that even users will have access to artificial intelligence with simple phones or circular phones.
Logan Kipatrick of Google Dipmand posted on a post on the X platform and wrote: “1-4-Chatgpt may seem a funny trick, but its principle is critical for scaling artificial intelligence acceptance.” If this feature is properly implemented, it can be a great achievement to access technology in developing countries.
“In the future, new users of artificial intelligence will not use the traditional UX interfaces we use today, but they will use more text, email and voice to interact with artificial intelligence,” he said. He also noted that anyone who presents this experience will have a great victory.
The email sent to Openai did not receive a response on the details of the launch of the phone call feature in India. “One of the biggest benefits of such integrity is the empowerment of users,” said Osama Manzar, the founder and director of the Digital Empowerment Foundation.
He explained that ChatGPT can make technology more accessible to people with limited digital literacy by enabling content, searching for information and sharing ideas through voice commands. This will be especially effective for rural users and people who do not have access to the Internet and will create new opportunities for learning, communication and access to basic services.
However, he raised concerns about key challenges. The first concern is the content of the content of artificial intelligence responses to local areas. He added that ChatGPT support systems may always not be well -compatible with the diverse linguistic and cultural needs of local communities, and this mismatch can reduce the effectiveness and loss of users.
Daily has also raised concerns about data privacy, as users may share them without knowing how to store or use their information.
From year 1 to 2, the number of active SIM cards in India has increased more than three times and has exceeded one billion SIM cards in a country with a population of 1.4 billion. These statistics show the huge potential of artificial intelligence acceptance in the country. In terms of regulations, Openai can introduce such a feature, provided that it is compatible with the privacy laws in India.
To simpler user interfaces?
The point to note is that artificial intelligence is still a relatively new phenomenon in India unlike the Internet. Intuitive Design also has a key role to make and human -driven this technology beyond the chats.
The development of artificial intelligence solutions is essential to India’s cultural needs and context. Osama Mazari says, “The key is to use existing platforms that are deeply involved with the Indian people, such as WhatsApp, Google and Facebook.”
In fact, despite the success of ChatGpt, it is interesting that apps like WhatsApp and YouTube are still the most popular in India. “It is important to focus on how we can extract and use the data produced on these platforms,” Mazari added. “How to create artificial intelligence solutions that are not dominated by foreign technology giants?”
India, a price -sensitive country
Although access to artificial intelligence is improving, its actual acceptance in India depends on the ease of use and cost -effectiveness. Simplified user interfaces help a lot, but without affordable pricing, artificial intelligence will not be available to many people.
The consequence of high and expensive pricing models for advanced tools in a price -sensitive country like India is very big. Deepseek is gradually changing the game for everyone and forcing artificial intelligence laboratories to introduce cheaper alternatives or to review at least their strategies in the future.
For example, Openai now offers ChatGPT Pro for $ 5 a month and has rumored that it plans to introduce up to $ 4.9 per month due to the high costs of advanced models.
While the economy usually reduces costs over time, many users in X responded to Altman, pointing out that in the current situation, $ 5 a month is equivalent to average salary and income in many economies other than the United States. This amount of income indicates that pricing of artificial intelligence sharing cannot be the same worldwide. In particular, in India, the average monthly income is about 2.5 rupees.
This shows well that access to AGI (public artificial intelligence) for ordinary people in India and the world will be an essential part of many people’s daily lives. In particular, ChatGPT continues to become the essential part of many people in India and elsewhere (at least in urban areas).
Interestingly, Altman has recently acknowledged that the future of artificial intelligence will eventually move to Open-Source. “I personally think we have been on the wrong side of history and we have to find a different open source strategy,” he said at a meeting at AMA. He also added that “not everyone in Openai has this view.”
Pressure to build specific language models of Indian language (Indic LLMS)
The important question in India is whether India can build a free and open source by focusing on the data of Indian languages, an artificial intelligence model similar to Deepseek?
Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity, emphasized that building a fundamental model in the country is as important as making apps and applications. In this case, there is a lot to be written about the division of the Internet into different sections.
Nandan Nilekani, one of the founders of Infosys and Tanuj Bojwani, former People + AI chief Tanuj Bojwani, has supported Indian problems through the practical applications of these technologies.
Recently, OLA CEO Bhavish Aggarwal announced the launch of the Krutrim AI Lab Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the release of several open source artificial intelligence models designed specifically for Indian linguistic and cultural needs.
This declaration is in line with the larger goals of Indian artificial intelligence. The Indian government has formally urged project providers to develop native artificial intelligence models. In fact, this is a move towards the creation of independent artificial intelligence that can compete with global models.
By the IndiaAI mission, startups, researchers and entrepreneurs have been invited to build large Multimodal models, Large Language Models, and Small Language Models, so that artificial intelligence is deeply rooted in Indian languages and culture.
According to site information, the government expects these models to be trained on a variety of Indian data, adapt to Indian laws, and provide the country’s public and strategic interests at the same time.
