India to frame AI regulations focused on safety and deepfakes: IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw
The consultation paper will form the base for AI regulations, he said, adding that the time has come for India to have such a framework.
IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Thursday said the government will release a consultation paper on AI regulations within a month, focusing on key aspects such as AI safety , deepfakes , and a human-first approach . The consultation paper will form the base for AI regulations, he said, adding that the time has come for India to have such a framework. "I'll request the department to come out with a regulation-focused consultation paper, which focuses on safety. That's the most important point: safety related to AI use," Vaishnaw said while speaking at an event on the release of the World Development Report.
Other areas of focus would be AI harms , including deepfakes, a human-first approach, and skilling. Vaishnaw termed deepfakes a "nuisance which can cause huge problems in society", and noted that their quality is improving every day. "People believe them, and it sets a totally wrong precedent. It sets a totally wrong narrative, and people get lured into doing wrong things and believing wrong things," he said. The consultation paper would also include skilling and a commitment to leave no person behind. "Humanity has to be the most important part of change that has happened," he said.
