Digital India Act will deal with ill effects of AI: MoS Chandrasekhar

The aim of the Digital India Act (DIA) 2023 is to deal with the ill effects of artificial intelligence (AI) and it will succeed the current IT Act, Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Friday.

At present, the IT Act, which is about 22 years old, does not even mention the word internet, he said.

“To regulate AI as an ecosystem, the Digital India Act will have to be enacted which will deal with all the harms of AI,” Chandrasekhar said while speaking at the 12th edition of Sadhguru Academy’s (formerly Isha Leadership Academy) flagship program, INSIGHT: The DNA of Success kicked off on Thursday at Isha Yoga Center, here.
