The IT ministry’s AI regulation report is broadly welcome but not entirely

Live Mint  

Last week, the ministry of information technology released a Report on the Regulatory Framework for AI in India. The report argues that if we assign immutable, unique identities to participants in the AI ecosystem, we will be able to use the consent artefact to track and record their activities. I am also glad that it has highlighted the need to train our regulators and law enforcement authorities on the harms AI can cause, so that they can suitably alter the way they approach regulation and supervision. If the Western risk-focused approach that underpins much of the thinking behind the report also extends to enforcement, Indian AI companies are going to find it very hard to innovate.
