    American artificial intelligence (AI) research company OpenAI rolled out a new update to much-in-demand ChatGPT on Thursday.

    The company made the drag-and-drop support available in ChatGPT for iOS and iPadOS devices. With the help of this new feature, users can drag and drop messages into other applications.

    The new update will also allow iPad users to make the most of the entire tablet screen. The company has also introduced Siri and Shortcuts integration for ChatGPT. Users will be able to use the app directly with Siri and Shortcuts.

    Last month, the ChatGPT app was released for iOS users in India as the company expanded the availability of the app to more countries. Currently, the ChatGPT app is available only for iOS. OpenAI plans to introduce the app on Android soon.

    Meanwhile, the company earlier introduced a feature called 'shared links' for the app, which allows users to create and share ChatGPT conversations with others.

    Earlier this week, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman confirmed that that the company is not presently training GPT5 - the successor to GPT4.

    On Thursday, Altman met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi and discussed the need for global regulation.

    At a session at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT Delhi), Altman said that his company was currently doing self-regulation.

    "We spent almost 8 months on GPT for making sure that it was safe enough to release. We build the technology, and we have worked with organisations to figure out what the limits should be and tested them all. We do think that coordination is important. So self-regulation is important. It is something that we want to offer. The world should not be left entirely in the hands of the companies," Altman said at the IIIT Delhi session.

    Altman, who is on a six-nation tour, will head to Israel, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, and South Korea after India.

    AI may still be in its early stages, the government quoting NASSCOM data in February this year said the overall AI employment in India is estimated at 416,000 professionals. The growth rate for the sector is estimated at 20-25 per cent. Furthermore, AI is expected to contribute an additional $957 billion to India's economy by 2035.

    Many nations the world over have been using AI technologies for better service delivery and to reduce human intervention but fears of job cuts remain as the technology evolves.
