OpenAI has announced free access to ChatGPT for half a million teachers and students in India. The company has also released a $500,000 (around ₹4.5 crore) research grant to IIT-Madras.
The initiative is called the OpenAI Learning Accelerator. It was announced at the India Education Summit and is positioned as an India-first program designed to integrate AI into classrooms while supporting teachers and learners. This is quite obvious as India already represents ChatGPT’s largest student user base in the world, making the country a key focus for OpenAI’s education strategy.
