Meity issues advisory, asks cos to take permit before launching AI products

Ministry of Electronics and IT (Meity) on Friday issued an advisory to social media intermediaries and artificial intelligence (AI) platforms and asked them to take permission before launching AI products in the country.

Further, the ministry has also asked platforms to ensure that the biases arising out of their AI models or platforms do not hamper the electoral process in India.

“Generative AI or AI platforms available on the internet will have to take full responsibility for what the platform does, and cannot escape the accountability by saying that their platform is under-testing,” said Minister of State for electronics Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
