NEW DELHI: The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology’s (MeitY) recent advisory on Artificial Intelligence was aimed at big platforms and necessary permission would be needed for large platforms only. The same would not apply to startups, clarified Union Minister for Electronics and Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
In an advisory issued on March 1, 2024, the Ministry reportedly said all artificial intelligence (AI) models, large-language models (LLMs), software using generative AI or any algorithms that are currently being tested, are in the beta stage of development or are unreliable in any form must seek ‘explicit permission of the government of India’ before being deployed for users on the Indian internet.
The advisory, the Ministry asked all platforms to ensure that “their computer resources do not permit any bias or discrimination or threaten the integrity of the electoral process” by the use of AI, generative AI, LLMs or any such other algorithm.
