Pragya Mishra is OpenAI’s first hire in India, marking the company’s first-ever entry into the market. The appointment is made in advance of India’s approaching Lok Sabha elections, which will have a big impact on laws governing artificial intelligence.
Mishra, who was formerly employed by Meta Platforms Inc. and Truecaller AB, will oversee partnerships and public policy relations in India. The hire is a part of OpenAI’s attempts to advocate for favourable regulations as policymakers around the globe contemplate how best to control rapidly advancing technology.
India has a huge development potential for international tech companies because of its 1.4 billion people and rapidly expanding economy, but the market has proven difficult because of laws and regulations protecting local businesses.
Google, which is creating an AI model especially for India’s varied linguistic terrain, is a competitor of OpenAI. CEO Sam Altman underlined the significance of incorporating AI into public services, like healthcare, and the requirement that governments take the initiative to develop laws governing this quickly developing technology. Governments, in his opinion, are lagging behind in incorporating AI into other services and still lack the solutions to this problem.
