Global AI ethics standards in works, will be adopted once finalised: Consumer Affairs Secretary

With artificial intelligence increasingly permeating daily life, global standard-setting bodies are deliberating on frameworks for its ethical use, Consumer Affairs Secretary Nidhi Khare said on Wednesday.

“Indian experts are in the international standards-setting committees. Once the global standards are framed, they will be adopted by the countries, including India,” Khare told PTI on the sidelines of a PHDCCI conference on harnessing AI to combat fraud and counterfeits in the retail and e-commerce sector.

She said that 39 global AI standards already exist, while 45 more are in the process of being developed.
