“AI adoption is moving faster than our ability to measure it — and that’s a challenge for anyone trying to make smart decisions,” said Ronnie Chatterji, chief economist, OpenAI.
“Signals is our way of putting real-world evidence on the table, so India’s AI debate can be grounded in facts, not hype,” Chatterji added.
