The company behind ChatGPT is setting up its first commercial team in Israel, hiring executives to target startups and enterprise customers, according to a report in Jewish Breaking News. The move stops short of an engineering center but could expand into a larger operation.
OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is establishing its first commercial presence in Israel by hiring a local team to pursue Israeli startups and enterprise customers, according to a report by Jewish Breaking News. The move marks the company's entry into the Israeli market, though it stops short of opening an engineering center. The report notes that the commercial team could become the first stage of a larger Israeli operation. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Israeli media had previously indicated that OpenAI was planning to open a development center in Israel. The new report provides a more concrete picture of the company's initial strategy, focusing on sales and business development rather than research and development. The move is part of the growing global competition over AI infrastructure and talent, with Israel's AI ecosystem attracting major international players.
