On November 5, a report containing AI Governance guidelines were released by MeitY with the declared objective of developing a foundational reference for policymakers, researchers, and industry to foster greater national and international cooperation for safe, responsible, and inclusive AI adoption.
The guidelines have been drafted by a high-level committee under the chairmanship of Prof. Balaraman Ravindran, IIT Madras, comprising policy experts including Shri Abhishek Singh, Additional Secretary, MeitY; Ms. Debjani Ghosh, Distinguished Fellow, NITI Aayog; Dr. Kalika Bali, Senior Principal Researcher, Microsoft Research India; Mr. Rahul Matthan, Partner, Trilegal; Mr. Amlan Mohanty, Non-Resident Fellow, NITI Aayog; Mr. Sharad Sharma, Co-founder, iSPIRT Foundation; Ms. Kavita Bhatia, Scientist ‘G’ & GC, MeitY & COO IndiaAI Mission; Mr. Abhishek Aggarwal, Scientist D, MeitY & Mr. Avinash Agarwal, DDG (IR), DoT, Ms. Shreeppriya Gopalakrishnan, DGM, IndiaAI.
The Guideline will be analysed by the FDPPI’s AI Chair and its comments will be provided here.
In September this year, FDPPI released DGPSI-AI as a framework for DPDPA Compliance which covered the recommended industry approach to DPDPA Compliance where AI is used by a Data Fiduciary. This framework which is an extension of the DGPSI framework also covers the requirements of AI Developers and Agentic AI users.
It would be interesting to look at this framework in the light of the guidelines now released.
Watch out for more articles on the guidelines….
