While Altman’s right hand was in the Prime Minister’s grasp, the OpenAI CEO’s left hand remained a fist in the air, as did Amodei’s right hand. Before Amodei founded Anthropic with his sister Daniela Amodei, the siblings worked at OpenAI. At the Summit, Altman’s company announced “OpenAI for India”, a nationwide initiative to expand access to AI, strengthen sovereign AI capabilities, and accelerate enterprise and workforce transformation across the country. In a 2024 conversation with podcaster Lex Fridman, Dario Amodei had remarked that the real reason he left OpenAI was that “it is incredibly unproductive to try and argue with someone else’s vision”.
