For making responsible AI models, public datasets will be shared only with trusted firms: Chandrasekhar

To ensure that enterprises build responsible artificial intelligence (AI) models, the government will share the public data available with it only with firms which have a proven track record and can be categorised as trusted sources.

Speaking to Fe, minister of state for electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that such a step will ensure that firms follow good practices in terms of protecting citizens’ personal data and other digital governance mechanism put in place by the government.

“Every AI model which exists has been trained on Indian datasets in addition to other datasets. So far companies had free and unrestricted access to citizens’ data which was used for purposes for which consent was not taken,” Chandrasekhar said.
