OpenAI, the company behind the popular AI tool ChatGPT, is making a significant move by setting up an office in Germany. In a recent announcement, they revealed plans to open this new office in Munich in the next few months.
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, mentioned that Germany is well-known for its strong technical skills, high-quality education, and innovative industries. He believes that by opening an office there, OpenAI will be able to reach and assist many more people, businesses, and organizations in exploring the benefits of artificial intelligence.

The company has been in discussions with German officials about this new office since earlier this year. According to OpenAI, Germany has the largest number of users, paying customers, and developers using their technology among all the countries in Europe.
An OpenAI representative told TechCrunch that the new office will focus initially on hiring people for various roles related to marketing, global relations, and communications. However, they did not provide specific information about how many positions will be available.
This new office in southern Germany follows OpenAI’s recent establishment of offices in other European cities like Paris, Brussels, and Dublin, as the company seeks to expand its presence in Europe.
