“We discussed the opportunities before the country (India), as well as what the country should do,” Altman said, adding that having global control over AI technology is also vital.

This is the second time the OpenAI CEO has urged that governments work together to establish an international body to control AI and set collective legislation to avert any problems that the technology may bring.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, India’s minister of state for information technology, disagreed with Altman’s regulatory proposals. According to Chandrasekhar, while Altman is a bright man with his own ideas, we too have smart minds with our own ideas for AI rules.
