The Indian government is shifting its regulatory focus from AI technology to its applications, as stated by Abhishek Singh, Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. This approach aims to address user harm caused by specific AI applications, such as deepfakes and misinformation. The government emphasizes that while AI technology remains open for research, regulations will target harmful applications if necessary.
Singh highlighted India's lag in AI development compared to the US and China, particularly in research investment and access to computing resources. Initiatives like the IndiaAI Mission aim to enhance GPU capacity, while partnerships with companies like Yotta are set to establish significant computing infrastructure. The government is also working on making government data more usable for AI development, addressing the current lack of AI-usable datasets.
