"On Thursday, top executives, including Demis Hassabis, Sundar Pichai, Brad Smith, Sam Altman, and Dario Amodei, lined up on stage with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the India AI Impact Summit. In his signature style, Modi held hands with Pichai on his right and Altman on his left and began raising their linked arms for a celebratory photo. Modi has previously taken photos this way with world leaders, including former US President Joe Biden and EU Commission President Ursula von Leyen."
"The photo op's most meme-worthy scene was the OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs not managing - or refusing- to hold each other's hands. After a pause, they raised their arms without making contact. The moment was widely screenshotted and shared on social media. The awkward moment followed a Super Bowl advertising jab between the two AI giants earlier this month. Anthropic's 30-second commercial roasted OpenAI over its decision to bring ads to ChatGPT."
Top AI executives gathered in New Delhi for the India AI Impact Summit alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss model development and societal impact. Modi held hands with Sundar Pichai on his right and Sam Altman on his left while others joined in for a linked-arm photo. Sam Altman and Dario Amodei did not make contact when raising their arms, pausing and then lifting without touching, a moment widely screenshotted and shared. The incident followed public ads and exchanges between OpenAI and Anthropic, including an Anthropic Super Bowl commercial criticizing OpenAI and Altman's reply calling the ad "dishonest." Amodei left OpenAI in 2021 to cofound Anthropic over safety and leadership disagreements.
