India is reportedly close to making a ‘big announcement’ in a few weeks with respect to conversational AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools – similar to ChatGPT.
The country’s IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Monday: “Wait for a few weeks, there will be a big announcement,” while speaking on whether India can build something equivalent to the conversational AI tool ChatGPT.
Vaishnaw was speaking at the India Global Forum event and declined to give further details, PTI reported.
ChatGPT has dazzled the world with its conversational skills and triggered an AI chatbot race. The new AI chatbot tool — created by the San Francisco artificial intelligence company OpenAI — has over the past weeks exploded in popularity and grabbed headlines.
It can be tasked to provide definitive answers to questions, responds to user prompts, and based on online information, it can churn out scripts, speeches, song lyrics, homework material, articles, marketing copy, classroom essays and even draft research paper abstracts.
