After the upcoming general elections, India will begin developing legislation for AI regulations. This information was disclosed by Ashwini Vaishnaw, Union Minister of Electronics & Information Technology. He stressed that a self-regulatory body would not suffice for AI, necessitating a legislative approach instead. This move follows an advisory issued and later withdrawn by the Indian government last month, which urged tech firms to seek explicit consent before implementing untested or unreliable AI models.
