October 9, 2024 – On Wednesday, American artificial intelligence (AI) company OpenAI announced plans to open an office in Singapore later this year and has already begun assembling a team in the country.
According to the company, Singapore will serve as a hub for supporting clients and partners in the Asia-Pacific region. The team will work to strengthen relationships with local and regional governments, businesses, and institutions. OpenAI stated in its announcement that Singapore ranks among the top countries in terms of per capita usage of ChatGPT.
