Personal AI agents from Meta, Google and others aim to handle tasks across apps, from emails to travel planning, but access to personal data raises privacy and security concerns

OpenAI on Thursday announced local processing of artificial intelligence (AI) requests in India for its application programming interface (API), allowing eligible businesses and developers to run supported workloads on its GPT-6 Luna model within the country to help meet data localisation needs.
For supported workloads, both the processing of a request and the model computation that generates the response will take place in India, the company said in a statement. Supported customer content will also be stored in the country.
"Some Indian businesses have not fully deployed AI for important work because they need the information involved to be processed within the country. Local inference gives them more control over where supported workloads run and helps address a practical barrier to adoption.
"It gives more businesses a way to put OpenAI's tools to work, and gives Indian developers and startups more scope to build for their own, and enterprise needs," Nitin Bawankule, Head of ...

Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra on Tuesday said India is not just a refuge from the AI hype but rather has "a compelling AI opportunity of its own".
In a post on X, Mahindra cited the nation's software talent, systems integration expertise and enormous domestic market for AI use cases, to make his point: "surely India has a promising hand to play?"
"Perhaps India isn't just a refuge from the AI hype. It may have a compelling AI opportunity of its own," he wrote.
And if so, he argued, the renewed interest in Indian equities "may have more staying power than we think".
In his post, Mahindra said he had earlier flagged the irony of India returning to favour with global investors partly because it was seen as being outside the supposedly overheated AI trade.
"But perhaps there's another way to look at it," he said.
He pointed out that Stanford now ranks India third in global AI vibrancy.
Mahindra acknowledged that India does not make the most advanced chips or lead the race i

WhatsApp will focus on making connections richer, letting users complete tasks such as paying bills within chats and using AI to improve efficiency, while keeping personal messages and calls end-to-end encrypted, CEO Kunal Shah said on Wednesday.
Shah, who took charge of the Meta-owned messaging platform in June this year, said he has spent the last few months listening to users and understanding what they wanted from WhatsApp.
"...What I heard is simple: help people stay close to those who matter to them, and get more done on WhatsApp. So that's what we'll build," he said in a post on X.
He stated that people send over 10 billion voice messages and over 4 billion stickers on WhatsApp every day.
"First, we want to make connections richer. Sometimes hearing someone's voice, sending a joke, agreeing on a plan or knowing they're safe is the whole point. As the way people communicate evolves, we will evolve these experiences with them. We'll make voice notes, groups, stickers and video
