Data protection, AI rules top tech’s wishlist for next govt

Technology policy experts say that notification of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules, which would provide teeth to enforce the DPDP Act notified in August last year, should be the top priority of the new government.

India’s first data protection law has been in suspended animation for the last nine months for the lack of subordinate rules to enforce the legislation, according to technology policy lawyers, think tanks and policy groups.
