MeitY Secretary Indias AI Regulations Won Stop Innovation

OVERVIEW According to S Krishnan, the government would prepare the legislation for artificial intelligence using the same methodology used to draft the DPDP Act. According to the MeitY secretary, India may have an advantage over other countries by enacting AI legislation later since it may examine and absorb the lessons from the mistakes made by others. The proposed AI legal framework is expected to be published by July of this year, according to statements made earlier this year by Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the minister of state for MeitY.Artificial intelligence (AI) would be regulated by the Center so as not to inhibit innovation in the field, according to S Krishnan, secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).Before being made available to users on the Indian internet, all large-language models (LLMs), software that uses generative AI, artificial intelligence (AI) models, and algorithms that are being tested, in beta testing, or unreliable in any other way are required to obtain the "explicit permission of the government of India."On March 1, the ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY) released a late-night advisory—a first for the entire world.

It requested that all platforms make sure that their use of AI, generative AI, LLMs, or any other kind of algorithm "does not permit any bias or discrimination or threaten the integrity of the electoral process."Friday's advise, though not legally obligatory, is "signalling that this is the future of regulation," according to Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the union minister of state for electronics and information technology. "We are requesting that you (the AI platforms) abide by it as an advisory today."
