Centre unveils AI governance rules for safe adoption

The Information Technology (IT) Act may have to be amended to classify artificial intelligence systems, and there may be a need to create an India-specific risk assessment framework for AI, a national database for incidents and new institutions to oversee these, as per the national AI governance guidelines.

While non-binding, the guidelines released on Wednesday will serve as the template for India’s national vision for AI leading up to the government’s flagship IndiaAI Impact Summit in February next year, principal scientific advisor Ajay Sood said.
