OpenAI expands ChatGPT app availability to 33 countries, including India

OpenAI has expanded the availability of its ChatGPT app for iOS users in India and 32 other countries, just a week after its launching it in the U.S. The list of new countries include Algeria, Argentina, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Estonia, Ghana, India, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lithuania, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, Namibia, Nauru, Oman, Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Qatar, Slovenia, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates. The ChatGPT mobile app has crossed the mark of half a million downloads in the first six days since its initial availability in the U.S., making it one of the highest-performing new apps. OpenAI's ChatGPT app now supports voice input through OpenAI's speech recognition system Whisper and lets ChatGPT Plus users access advanced features through GPT-4. The expansion of the ChatGPT app comes at a time when OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman is touring several countries to better connect with global policymakers and understand their concerns about AI.
