Platforms with algo biases not protected under IT rule: Chandrasekhar

Social media platforms that are involved in algorithmic or search biases or if their Artificial Intelligence (AI) models are discriminatory will not get sanctuary under the safe harbour provision of the IT rules, Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Thursday.

His remarks came in response to a post on X (formerly Twitter) from a user who shared a screenshot of Google Bard denying summarising an article from an Indian website, calling it a ‘biased’ and ‘unreliable’ source.
