Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has announced a partnership with OpenAI, saying he is looking forward to explore more ways to use ChatGPT and sharing what he discovers with others.
Tendulkar made the announcement on social media platform X on Monday, revealing that his experience with ChatGPT has gone beyond simply asking questions.
He said that the AI chatbot has also helped him with practical tasks, including planning a recent family trip.
The former India batter said his curiosity has played a big role in how he uses the technology, with one question often leading to another. He said the new partnership would allow him to explore those possibilities further.
Partnership built around curiosity
‘I’m excited to announce my partnership with OpenAI. We have some interesting things coming up, and I can’t wait to share them with you,’ Tendulkar said in his post.
He added that ChatGPT had encouraged his habit of asking questions while also proving useful when he needed to get things done. He gave the example of planning his last family trip with the help of the AI platform.
Tendulkar said he wants to discover what else he can do with ChatGPT, share the uses he finds helpful and encourage more people to experiment with the technology.
He invited people to start with something they are interested in, whether it is a question, an idea or something they have always wanted to explore.
The announcement did not reveal the financial details of the partnership or provide a schedule for the activities planned under it.
ChatGPT takes 10 questions to identify Tendulkar
Tendulkar also shared a video alongside the announcement in which he challenged ChatGPT to identify him using no more than 10 questions.
The chatbot managed to work out that it was Tendulkar within the limit, turning the demonstration into a light-hearted introduction to the partnership. The video also reflected the broader theme of the collaboration: using AI not only for information but also for exploration and everyday tasks.
Tendulkar’s association with OpenAI comes as ChatGPT continues to expand its presence in India. The AI platform has increasingly been used for tasks ranging from learning and research to planning and productivity.
From cricket icon to AI collaborator
Tendulkar retired from international cricket in 2013 after a career spanning 664 matches. He finished with 34,357 international runs and 100 centuries, and was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honour, in 2014.
His latest partnership takes the cricket icon into a very different space, with the focus now on artificial intelligence and its use in everyday life. (Firstpost)
