The India Artificial Intelligence Summit was a hive of activity when Prime Minister Modi called upon 13 prominent business and political figures to gather for a group photograph. He instructed everyone to line up, raise their hands above their heads, and exchange handshakes with their adjacent counterparts. However, an awkward moment ensued when Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, and his immediate neighbor, Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, both declined to shake hands. Instead, they crossed their arms in the air and avoided making eye contact. It is noteworthy that Amodei had previously been employed at OpenAI but eventually resigned to establish his own venture, driven by the belief that OpenAI had become excessively commercialized. This incident swiftly circulated across Indian social media platforms, capturing widespread attention.
