India’s AI Governance Guidelines: A Hands-Off Approach

India-Specific Risk Framework: Develop a risk assessment framework reflecting real-world evidence of harm.
Voluntary Industry Measures: Industry should adopt voluntary measures on privacy and security.
Grievance Redressal System: Establish a grievance redressal mechanism to enable reporting of AI-related harms.
Guiding Principles:
Trust: Trust in AI systems as a non-negotiable foundation
People-Centricity: AI should empower individuals and reflect their value systems
Responsible Innovation: Promote responsible and purposeful innovation
Equity: Ensure fairness and non-discrimination in AI outcomes
Accountability: Place responsibility on those deploying AI
Understandability: Prioritize explainability in AI systems
Safety, Resilience, and Sustainability: Ensure systems remain secure, resilient, and energy-efficient
Implementation:
Regulatory Sandboxes: Encourage innovation through regulatory sandboxes.
National Database: Establish a national database for AI incidents
Sectoral Regulators: Sectoral regulators will enforce domain-specific compliance
AI Governance Group: Coordinate policy on AI governance across ministries
