All About O-1 Visa, Entry Route To US Gaining Popularity Among Indians
Washington: As Indians face challenges in getting a work visa in the United States due to long queues and the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration, the O-1 visa is emerging as an alternative for professionals seeking job opportunities in the US. The O-1 is a specialised non-immigrant visa for individuals with "extraordinary ability" in the field of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), arts, education, business, athletics, or the film or television industry. Established under the Immigration Act of 1990, the O-1 visa is being touted as an alternative to the increasingly competitive H-1B visa, but "with no lottery system." What Is An O-1 Visa? The O-1 offers a temporary entry into the US to individuals who demonstrate extraordinary ability by sustained national or international acclaim, or a record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture and television industry. To get this visa, applicants are required to meet at least three of eight rigorous criteria, such as major awards, scholarly publications, or original contributions to their field. Unlike the H-1B, which has a mere 37 per cent approval rate due to intense scrutiny, the O-1 allows high-skilled talent to bypass systemic uncertainties. It gives more eligibility flexibility to applicants, as it requires no minimum salary or formal degree, and accepts international awards or media coverage as proof of an individual's achievements. However, an O-1A visa application is typically much costlier than the H-1B application. Its costs range from $10,000-$30,000, around 10 times higher than H-1B fees. But, it has a success rate of 93 per cent and offers initial validity for up to three years with unlimited extensions. O-1 Visa Gaining Popularity Among Indians According to the US Department of State data, O-1A issuances surged from 8,838 in FY2020 to 18,994 in FY2023, with Indians driving much of this growth. Per the FY2023 data, Indians were the third-largest cohort of O-1A visa recipients globally, by receiving 1,418 O-1A visas, trailing only the U.K. and Brazil. The visa is not only becoming increasingly popular among solo entrepreneurs, but also among multinational firms like Google and Tesla. Highlighting its accessibility beyond traditional employment, Soundarya Balasubramani, a 28-year-old founder of educational venture The Curious Maverick, told Ecanomics Times (ET), recounted the ease with which she secured an O-1A as a solo entrepreneur. "I got my O-1A (visa) approved as the solo founder and 100 per cent owner of an educational venture that publishes books and builds communities," she said. Another reason for its popularity is no lottery system in the O-1 category. Sahil Nyati, founder at Jinee Green Card, describes the O-1A as an H-1B visa without a lottery. "There's definitely higher interest in O-1A, simply because it's like an H-1B without a lottery, although it's not a piece of cake," Nyati told ET. In FY2024, a total of 225,957 H-1B visas were approved as compared to only 22,669 O-1s. But since then, the demand for H-1B has seen a declining trend, while O-1s are witnessing nearly 10 per cent year-on-year growth. Aslam Ahmed, Partner, Singhania & Co, told the publication that companies like Google, OpenAI, Tesla, and McKinsey are among those open to recruiting promising new talent from India and attracting well-established players in their fields to their US headquarters. "Top universities like Harvard, Yale and Columbia are always looking to hire the best faculty and researchers globally," he added.

What's common between Sam Altman, the ChatGPT founder and Sundar Pichai, the man behind Google's success? Both went to...
Sam Altman and Sundar Pichai- PTI image Sam Altman vs Sundar Pichai: Two of the most popular names that are often taken with high respect in the technology world today are Open AI CEO Sam Altman and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Both Sam Altman and Google CEO Sundar Pichai have earned fame in the technology world for their respective innovations in the technology world. While Sam Altman built a chatbot named ChatGPT, Sundar Pichai built a browser that reached almost every phone and laptop named Google Chrome. However, do you know that both the tech leaders share a common point in their academic lives. What's common between Sam Altman and Sundar Pichai? As per media reports, both Sam Altman and Sundar Pichai attended Stanford University, a key commonality in their careers. For those unversed, commonly referred to as Stanford University, is a private research university in Stanford, California, United States. The university is also known as the Hogwarts of Silicon Valley, is famous for producing technology stalwarts. Who are Sam Altman and Sundar Pichai? Sam Altman is a Stanford dropout who went on to co-found Y Combinator and later become the CEO of OpenAI, a company that transformed the Artificial Intelligence world with the launch of ChatGPT. On the other hand, Sundar Pichai belongs from a modest family of Chennai, India. He earned advanced degrees (MS and MBA) after studying engineering. Sundar progressed through Google—from leading Chrome's development to becoming CEO of Google and eventually Alphabet. OpenAI continues to be overseen and controlled by nonprofit: Sam Altman Sam Altman-run OpenAI will continue to be overseen and controlled by the nonprofit and its 'for profit LLC' will transition to a public benefit corporation (PBC), giving the nonprofit better resources to support several benefits, the company has announced. OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit, and is today overseen and controlled by that nonprofit. 'Going forward, it will continue to be overseen and controlled by that nonprofit. Our for-profit LLC, which has been under the nonprofit since 2019, will transition to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC)–a purpose-driven company structure that has to consider the interests of both shareholders and the mission,' the ChatGPT maker said in a statement.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says today's devices may soon be obsolete for AI-dominated world: 'We're going to need devices that are...'
Amid the rise in future talks about ChatGPT and the increase in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has taken a sharp U-turn since his earlier take on AI hardware. During his recent appearance on his brother Jack Altman's podcast, Sam talked and suggested that new devices that we use today may soon be unfit for an AI-dominated world. While speaking on the same, Sam bluntly said, "Current computers were designed for a world without AI." This is going to be a major shift from his earlier claim that the AI revolution wouldn't require new hardware. According to Altman, the future of computing will be centred around the systems that are not only more intelligent but also far more aware of their surroundings. It was nice to be a guest for a change 🤗 'We're going to need devices' The 40-year-old tech CEO went on to hint at moving away from conventional screens and keyboards towards more natural, immersive ways of interacting with technology. "We're going to need devices that are way more aware of their environment and have more context in your life," he said. He imagines future systems that are far more attuned to their surroundings and deeply integrated into users' lives, shifting away from conventional screen and keyboard use. Sam Altman's hardware optimism to reality check The change in thoughts has come following Altman's earlier claims that advancing AI wouldn't require new hardware, assuring users they'd be 'happy' if new devices were needed. However, growing signs now point out the current systems falling short of next-gen AI demands, with Google CEO Sundar Pichai also acknowledging today's hardware isn't yet sufficient for achieving artificial general intelligence. OpenAI has been exploring new interaction ideas Altman further reveals that the company have been exploring new interaction paradigms and is working on developing a 'couple of ideas that they are excited about; however, he acknowledged the adjustment period required for users to trust AI systems with comprehensive life context.
