20/06/2024 - India Proposes Comprehensive AI Regulation Framework (India)

argument: Normativa/Regulations - Digital Governance

Based on an article on Truyo, the draft AI Governance Act in India, dated June 19, 2024, aims to extend protections of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act to AI systems, focusing on high-risk AI. It establishes a framework for identifying and regulating high-risk AI systems, ensuring algorithmic accountability and quality testing. Aligning with the DPDP Act, it emphasizes consumer privacy and cyber resilience. The Act also sets rules for monetizing content, mandates periodic risk assessments, proposes penalties for violations, and establishes standards for managing anonymized data. Addressing challenges posed by Generative AI, such as data collection, bias, and deepfakes, the Act underscores the need for transparency, accountability, and privacy-by-design. Collaboration with stakeholders and proactive engagement with the Data Protection Authority (DPA) are highlighted as crucial for responsible AI development.
