This is the best summary I could come up with:
India has waded into global AI debate by issuing an advisory that requires “significant” tech firms to get government permission before launching new models.
The advisory — not published on public domain but a copy of which TechCrunch has reviewed — also asks tech firms to ensure that their services or products “do not permit any bias or discrimination or threaten the integrity of the electoral process.”
In a tweet Monday, Chandrasekhar said the advisory is aimed at “untested AI platforms deploying on the India internet” and doesn’t apply to startups.
Less than a year ago, the ministry had declined to regulate AI growth, instead identifying the sector as vital to India’s strategic interests.
“I was such a fool thinking I will work bringing GenAI to Indian agriculture from SF,” wrote Pratik Desai, founder of startup Kisan AI.
Non-compliance with the provisions of the IT Act and IT Rules would result in “potential penal consequences to the intermediaries or platforms or its users when identified,” the advisory adds.
