It will additionally assist them in tailoring OpenAI products for particular languages and regional requirements - the firm’s leader Sam Altman refers to this strategy as commercial diplomacy.
The partners will fund the collaboration themselves. Initially, OpenAI intends to undertake ten global projects, but it does not share their locations. The firm stated that it aims to collaborate with nations where its technologies are applied in supportive ways for democracy, Bloomberg observes.
