Nirmala Sitharaman has raised concerns over potential cybersecurity risks to India’s banking sector from advanced artificial intelligence systems, including models developed by Anthropic. The issue was discussed during a high-level meeting with bank heads and key stakeholders. Officials noted that such AI systems are capable of identifying deep vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure, raising fears that they could be misused for cyberattacks if accessed by malicious actors. The government described the emerging threat landscape as increasingly complex, calling for heightened vigilance and stronger preparedness across financial institutions. To address these risks, banks have been advised to strengthen cybersecurity frameworks and adopt proactive measures to safeguard customer data and critical systems. The finance ministry has also recommended establishing robust mechanisms for real-time threat intelligence sharing among banks and relevant agencies.

Srinivas Narayanan, an alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology Madras, has stepped down from OpenAI after more than three years, marking the end of a key chapter in the company’s rapid growth phase. He said he plans to spend time in India with his ageing parents before deciding on his next move. During his tenure, Narayanan played a crucial role in scaling ChatGPT and expanding OpenAI’s developer ecosystem. As CTO of B2B Applications and earlier Vice President of Engineering, he led teams responsible for core product development and infrastructure, helping bring advanced AI tools to a global user base. A Computer Science graduate from IIT Madras, Narayanan went on to earn a Master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His academic background laid a strong foundation for a career that combined deep technical expertise with leadership in large-scale systems. Before joining OpenAI, he spent over a decade in Silicon Valley, working with major tech firms such as IBM and Meta Platforms. At Meta, he contributed to large-scale AI systems spanning language processing, computer vision, and recommendation engines. His departure comes as OpenAI continues to expand rapidly across both consumer and enterprise AI. Given his role in scaling ChatGPT into one of the fastest-growing platforms globally, Narayanan’s next move is expected to draw significant attention across the tech industry.
