ChatGPT-maker Sam Altman receives Indonesia’s first-ever golden visa

Published

on

Officials on Monday announced that Indonesia has granted OpenAI CEO Sam Altman the nation’s first golden visa in an effort to draw affluent international investors to Southeast Asia’s largest economy.

Altman was granted a 10-year visa, which the director-general of immigration, Silmy Karim, confirmed in a statement on Monday, in recognition of his prospective contributions to the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in Indonesia.

“Once the holders of Golden Visa arrive in Indonesia, they no longer need to apply for a temporary stay permit at the immigration office,” Karim said.

According to the statement, the 38-year-old would be able to skip immigration lines at Indonesian airports and travel in and out of the nation more quickly with the golden visa.

Indonesia has introduced golden visas for investors, granting them a five-year stay after spending $2.5 million there and a 10-year stay after investing twice that much.

As the AI business grows globally, the nation wants to create a community and ecosystem there, according to officials.

Altman has not yet made his investment plans in Indonesia public, but his recent trip to Jakarta to give a speech on the future of AI suggests that he is quite interested in the country’s technical environment, Mint reported.

The visa may open the door to partnerships that advance Indonesia’s reputation in the AI and technology industries.

By encouraging investments in AI infrastructure, OpenAI, under Altman’s direction, has attracted interest on a worldwide scale.

ChatGPT is one of the tools the company has created that has transformed the way artificial intelligence is approached by using large data centres to simulate human intelligence.

As a result, there have been numerous investments made worldwide to build and expand infrastructures that support AI.

The goal is to construct the first lunar train system, which will enable safe, independent, and effective cargo transportation on the moon, according to robotics specialist Ethan Schaler of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

He went on, “The day-to-day functioning of a sustainable lunar base in the 2030s will depend heavily on a robust, long-lasting robotic transport system.”

The Flexible Levitation on a Track, or FLOAT, is the name of the proposed lunar rail system. According to NASA, the establishment of a railway system on the moon is “critical to the daily operations.”

According to the space agency, the primary objective of FLOAT is to offer transportation services in regions of the moon where astronauts are engaged in activities. To do this, cargoes of lunar soil and other materials will need to be transported to various regions of the moon.

Each robot will be able to transport cargo of various sizes and shapes at a pace of roughly 1 mph (1.61 km/h), according to Dr. Schaler.

Notably, NASA also declared new initiatives last month to create and test new vehicle models intended for moon exploration.

SIFC was established to improve the ease of doing business for potential investors through a “Whole of Government”Approach”—achieving optimal horizontal-vertical synergy and facilitation by the Pakistan Army—and to attract investments from friendly countries in selected sectors through an empowered organisation that serves as a “single-window” platform for facilitation.

The children will learn the newest skills in these state-of-the-art IT labs, expanding their employment prospects.

These IT laboratories will be constructed in sixteen degree colleges spread throughout various parts of Islamabad.

Students will take six-month courses in artificial intelligence (AI), game development, data science, and block chain in these IT labs.

Approximately 1,000 students will have access to courses in the first phase, which is being implemented in response to market demand.

The National Vocational and Technical Training Commission has worked with esteemed universities such as NUST, National Skills University, COMSATS, and NUML to produce these courses.

The second week of this month will mark the start of these classes. For these courses, about 3,600 students have signed up.
