AI needs legislative guardrails of safety, trust: Rajeev Chandrasekhar

The world is aligning with India’s views that artificial intelligence (AI) needs guardrails of safety and trust even as it could be the “kinetic enabler” for India’s $5-trillion economy goal, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, minister of state for electronics and information technology, has said.

“While AI is the buzzword and ChatGPT is fancy, we need legislative guardrails of safety and trust, which can ensure that AI can never be misused and or used by bad actors to cause harm,” the minister said at Bengaluru Tech Summit on Thursday.
