Will bring regulations for AI to keep digital citizens safe: Minister

Declaring that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is disruptive but it is unlikely to create any threat in the job sector in the immediate future because its application for the time being is task-oriented and not reasoning, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar said Friday that India will regulate the AI “through the prism of user harm”.

Highlighting the Modi government’s achievements in the digital sector in the last nine years, Chandrasekhar said the government will soon bring in rules to regulate online gaming on three principles — on harm, on addiction and on betting to protect digital citizens.
