OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is bullish about India\u2019s future in the AI arena and he feels the country is in a good position to not only build and shape but lead the world into the new era. \u201cIndia is well positioned to lead in AI, to build and shape it,” Altman said on the sidelines of the Indian AI Impact Summit 2026 in Delhi on Thursday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

OpenAI is focused on setting up its shop in the country and after announcing its plans to have offices in multiple cities this week, Altman was amongst many of the big AI personalities at the Summit today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBy 2028 world intellectual capacity will reside inside data centres and not outside of them,” Altman pointed out his estimates for the direction of the AI sector and how much important data centres will become for OpenAI and similar companies. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, he also voiced the concerns regarding AI safety, not only for OpenAI, but the industry overall, and advised that everyone needs to have a rethink about its integration, deployment and how safely it is done. \u201cWe need to think broadly on how we think about safety,” he added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And like Dario Amodei from Anthropic, Altman is excited but equally worried about the scale and scope of cognitive intelligence which demands new policies. \u201cSuper intelligence is needed for new governance mechanics.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He also believes that democratising AI models is the future and the right way to focus for the consumers. \u201cDemocratisation of AI is the only safe path ahead, the future of AI won\u2019t unfold in the way anyone predicted,” he was quoted saying by ANI<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Safety Concerns<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

AI and safety have become a core subject not only for the activists but also the industry at large. He wants to focus on making AI intelligence more affordably, which can directly impact the demand for the resources. And he feels that to achieve that, OpenAI and others will have to invest more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With regards to safety, the fast advancement of AI models have raised safety concerns and Altman admits that needs to be considered with the whole business model. The company is investing in safety and even set up features like lockdown mode which can aid user assurance while using these models extensively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
