Permission seeking from the Ministry is only for large platforms: Rajeev
Advisory is aimed at untested AI platforms: Rajeev
Safety & Trust of India's Internet is the goal: Rajeev
Chairman of the Governance Council at the Fintech Association for Consumer Empowerment Ram Rastogi provided an update on LinkedIn regarding the Indian Government’s policy with regard to Artificial Intelligence. “In a significant development, on 3rd March 24, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India announced that companies deploying Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI models must now obtain prior approval from the ministry. This move aims to regulate the rapidly evolving field of AI and ensure its responsible and ethical use. This decision reflects the government’s commitment to balancing technological advancement with safeguarding public interest. As AI applications permeate various industries, concerns surrounding data privacy, security, and ethical implications of AI algorithms have become increasingly prominent,” his post highlighted.
The move came under criticism by certain factions of the tech industry. “In India government approvals will come via usual channels . Big fish will have direct access via highly placed assets and the new ones will struggle to clear the loop,” a user remarked. However, Union Minister of State for Entrepreneurship Rajeev Chandrashekar offered a clarification. “Recent advisory of the Government of Electronics and IT needs to be understood. Advisory is aimed at the Significant platforms and permission seeking from the Ministry is only for large platforms and will not apply to startups. Advisory is aimed at untested AI platforms from deploying on the Indian Internet. Process of seeking permission , labelling & consent based disclosure to user abt untested platforms is insurance policy to platforms who can otherwise be sued by consumers. Safety & Trust of India’s Internet is a shared and common goal for the government, users and platforms,” he stated on X.
