Government not planning to regulate AI
The Government of India said that it was not planning to regulate Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the country. “To address the ethical concerns and potential risks associated with AI, various central and state government departments and agencies have commenced efforts to standardize responsible AI development, use and promote the adoption of best practices,” the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology said, in response to a question in the Lok Sabha.
The Ministry further added, “However, the government is not considering bringing a law or regulating the growth of artificial intelligence in the country.”
The Ministry said this while replying to a query raised by Bahujan Samaj Party MP Shyam Singh Yadav. Although the government is not considering an AI regulation, it agreed that there were “ethical concerns and risks due to issues such as bias and discrimination in decision-making, privacy violations, lack of transparency in AI systems, and questions about responsibility for harm caused by it.”
