ChatGPT CEO Sam Altman to visit India next week: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is scheduled to visit India next week to address the company's escalating legal difficulties in the nation. The author of ChatGPT, OpenAI, has recently come under fire for alleged copyright infringement.

With legal pressure building, Altman's trip to India is expected to center on meetings with government officials and potential remedies.
When is ChatGPT CEO Sam Altman coming to India?
Altman's trip to New Delhi is slated for February 5, 2025, according to the sources. A meeting with government officials may also occur.
However, this timeline has not yet been set, and the plans may alter.
This could be Altman's first visit to India in two years, having previously visited with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi in 2023 to discuss the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in improving India's innovation industry.
OpenAI¡¯s legal challenges in India
A consortium of book publishers and media businesses in India has filed a copyright case against OpenAI. In India, the dispute began with ANI's legal action last year and has now expanded to include book publishers and almost a dozen digital media sites, including NDTV.
The publishers, represented by the Federation of Indian Publishers, argue that OpenAI's ChatGPT service violates their copyrights by copying book summaries and excerpts from unlicensed internet versions.
OpenAI has filed a motion to dismiss the case, claiming that its ChatGPT service merely disseminated public information.
OpenAI stated in its initial answer to the ANI case that Indian judges do not have jurisdiction to hear a case against it because its servers are situated outside of India.
DeepSeek challenge
OpenAI now confronts a stiff fight from Chinese companies in the AI field, which it has dominated with its chatbot ChatGPT since 2022.
DeepSeek is a Chinese AI firm focused on open-source large language models (LLMs). It recently received a lot of attention after successfully launching its LLM, DeepSeek V3, which displayed skills equivalent to OpenAI's models but at a fraction of the cost.
DeepSeek has been accused by OpenAI and its investor, Microsoft, of using OpenAI's confidential data to train its well-known models.
