AI governance guidelines balanced, innovation-centred: Nasscom

IT industry body Nasscom on Friday hailed India’s AI Governance Guidelines as a balanced and innovation-centred blueprint that prioritises coordination over control.

The framework sets out an agile, principle-based approach that supports technological advancement while managing risks through evidence-driven, pragmatic tools, Nasscom said in a statement.

The guidelines propose creating the AI Governance Group (AIGG), Technology Policy Expert Committee (TPEC), and AI Safety Institute (AISI), thus enabling effective coordination and a whole-of-government approach without creating an over-centralised regulator, it said.
