Economic Times · 8m

A report suggests that the government's advisory on artificial intelligence (AI) in India should be modified for the growth of AI technologies. The report recommends a clearer definition of "significant platforms," a focus on applications at higher risk of spreading misinformation, and a transparent approval process. It also suggests exempting AI applications in areas like medicine and education, encouraging self-regulation, engaging with various stakeholders, and rolling out requirements in phases. The modifications aim to support AI growth while addressing false information. The report further suggests defining significant platforms, narrowing the advisory's scope, and implementing a transparent approval process, among other recommendations.
