Will India Care About The Metaverse As Much As It Has For AI?

So, in 2021, Mark Zuckerberg changed Facebook's name to Meta. Later on, Elon Musk would change Twitter's name, too, but, at the time, it raised some eyebrows. After all, it seemed emblematic of the idea that Mark was going all in with his poker chips on the Metaverse with a belief that it would be the successor to the Internet and shape all digital experiences with use cases ranging from hanging out with friends to entertainment, gaming, fitness and education. The power of belief.

Meta announced a product called the "Meta Quest Pro" in 2022 for the cheap price of $1500 (about ₹125,000). Some guffawed. In a country, like India, would such a burgeoning technology even have some user stickiness? People may have thought, "It's too futuristic. It won't be for the masses. It'll be on the periphery of technology. The world's not ready for futuristic technology".

Then, OpenAI went public with a ChatGPT model. Suddenly, there were crazy rates of adoption across the world, even in India. According to BCG, as of 2024, India was the largest user of ChatGPT with about 45% of respondents revealing they used the chatbot. It may have even sparked an influx of AI startups with subsequent funding following, almost like the 2021 funding frenzy.

What OpenAI’s Copyright Lawsuits Could Mean For The AI Landscape

In late 2022, OpenAI's ChatGPT was released to the public. And while people threw bouquets at the power of generative AI, there were a couple of brickbats as well. Many were worried about potential copyright infringement and privacy violations. And then, the lawsuits began.

There was a lawsuit filed that alleged OpenAI copied text from books without getting consent, crediting the copyright holder or even compensating them. Another lawsuit claimed that OpenAI's models collect people's personal information illegally. It was claimed that ChatGPT could accurately summarize books, which may mean that the LLM has read the books.

And there have been accusations that OpenAI is gathering people's images, music preferences, locations, financial details and more by being integrated into platforms, like Spotify, Snapchat, Slack and Microsoft Teams. And then, the New York Times sued OpenAI for copyright infringement, becoming the first major American media organization to do so, contending that millions of articles published by NYT were used to train chatbots to replace the outlet as a source of information. Comedian Sarah Silverman, also, joined the lawsuits accusing OpenAI of having ingested her memoir as a training text for AI programmes. Authors, like John Grisham, George RR Martin, Michael Connelly, Jodi Picoult and others are some of the authors who have sued OpenAI.

So, why the OpenAI dislike? Are people just getting on the bandwagon of lawsuits? Why can't everyone just get along?

Are We Ready For An AGI Future?

Remember November 2023? That seemed to be a tumultuous time for OpenAI. Co-founder Samuel Altman was abruptly fired over Google Meet, joined Microsoft and, then, returned to OpenAI again. Then, he fired most of the OpenAI Board that had fired him. But, just before Altman was fired, something happened.

A group of staff researchers were said to have sent a letter to the OpenAI Board. The letter was said to be about warning it about a new AI algorithm that could pose a threat to humanity. There was said to be a mysterious endeavour called Project Q* (pronounced Q-Star.) Some members believed that Project Q* could be a significant breakthrough in the pursuit of AGI, which is Artificial General Intelligence. This is a system that isn't good at one specific thing, but one that could do a wide range of things better than people. Some systems are good at something, but not everything. A smartphone could be great at understanding voice commands. But, it may not know how to learn a new language without specific programming.

AGI could create machines that aren't narrowly focused, but could understand, learn and do many things. Much like a human being. It could be a system that could learn things on its own, understand people's needs better over time and adapt to situations without needing specific instructions for each scenario. The idea of AGI is said to be building machines that have the kind of intelligence people have.
