Altman Avoids Handhold With Amodei Onstage

On Thursday at the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, executives including Demis Hassabis, Sundar Pichai, Brad Smith, Sam Altman, and Dario Amodei appeared onstage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. During the group photo, Altman and Amodei raised their arms without making contact, a viral moment that followed Anthropic's recent Super Bowl ad criticizing OpenAI and underscores visible tensions between the two companies.
