Navarro's 'Americans Paying for AI' Claim on India Debunked by Data

• Peter Navarro claimed Americans bear the cost of AI services used overseas, specifically naming India, on Real America’s Voice.
• AI platforms like ChatGPT are commercial products, not public utilities, thriving on global demand and subscriptions.
• India is OpenAI’s second-largest user base globally (7.86% of ChatGPT users) and its fastest-growing paid market.
• India's 2.75 million paid ChatGPT subscribers, along with the success of the India-first ChatGPT Go plan, contradict Navarro's 'free rider' assertion.
• India's diverse user interactions significantly contribute to improving AI models, making it a key contributor to global AI development.

Why It Matters: Data proves India is a paying, growing market for AI, not a 'free rider' on US taxpayer funds.
