The aim is to entice the best minds in the industry, particularly researchers and tech experts, to contribute to the development of OpenAI's advanced AI chatbot.

Reports indicate that OpenAI has successfully recruited at least 93 individuals who were previously employed by Google and Meta. The company, in its pursuit of top-tier talent, has posted job listings for research engineers with an annual salary range of Rs 2 crore to Rs 3.8 crore. ()

Additionally, attractive equity packages and benefits contribute to an overall compensation of Rs 83 crore per year. ()

Jan Leike, OpenAI's Head of Super Alignment, shared in a podcast that the company is actively hiring research engineers, scientists, and managers. He emphasized the importance of finding passionate candidates committed to making AI safer.

During a visit to India earlier this year, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, expressed eagerness to welcome talented IT professionals from the country.
