The ouster of Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO and the face of the AI boom, is unlikely to have a long-term impact on the company’s existing business partnerships with Indian IT services companies and the pace of generative AI innovations, said industry experts.
In the short run, said Peter Bendor-Samuel, founder of research firm Everest Group, Altman’s exit is unlikely to affect OpenAI’s partnerships and commercial agreements. But in the long run, it may affect the company’s ability to raise capital, which could make it a less attractive partner, he told Moneycontrol.
