India has waded into the global AI debate by issuing an advisory that requires "significant" tech firms to get government permission before launching new models. The advisory, which is not legally binding, also asks tech firms to ensure their services or products do not permit any bias, discrimination, or threatens the integrity of the electoral process.
Issued on March 1, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology also warns of criminal action in case of non-compliance—holding the platforms accountable for any breaches.
The advisory does not apply to startups, and represents a change from India's position on AI a year ago.
