Popular generative artificial intelligence company OpenAI, best known for its ChatGPT tool, gathered some of the top tech policy and civil society representatives in India on February 12 to discuss AI-driven misinformation and election preparedness for the upcoming general election.
Former top Indian government Information Technology officials and tech scholars who attended OpenAI’s private roundtable meeting in Delhi said the Election Commission of India (ECI) could be doing much more in coordination with major tech platforms such as OpenAI to combat misinformation and disinformation during a time of heightened sensitivities.
The civil society briefing was attended by digital rights groups, law and policy experts, disinformation reporters, influencers, at least one former government official, and Big Tech firms’ representatives, multiple participants told The Hindu.
