Tech groups raise concerns over India's proposed AI regulations and implementation challenges.
India’s proposed regulations on AI-generated content, aimed at addressing issues such as deepfakes, face criticism from major tech groups including the Data Security Council of India and the Information Technology Industry Council. These stakeholders argue that the amendments are overly broad, potentially burdening legitimate businesses while failing to effectively mitigate the risks posed by malicious actors. Concerns were raised regarding compliance costs, ambiguous definitions of synthetically generated information, and the impracticality of enforcing visible disclaimers. Industry advocates emphasize the need for a balanced regulatory approach that protects innovation while targeting genuinely harmful content, aligning with India’s goal of becoming a leader in responsible AI governance amidst rapidly evolving technology landscapes.
