Tamil Nadu working on safe & ethical AI policy, says top government official

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu will unveil a policy for safe and ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a top state government official said, in what is arguably a first-of-its-kind move in the country.
“While there is a lot of talk around AI, to condense it in the form of policy has not been done before, to be best of my knowledge,” Santhosh Mishra, Chief Executive Officer of Tamil Nadu e-Governance agency, said.
The agency executes cost-effective governance projects using frontier technologies such machine learning, drones, augmented reality, among others.
The government will also bring out a rule book for state agencies and vendors who use AI for governance services, to help handle private individual data in a sensitive manner.
