AI Security Assessment: India’s Approach and Implications for Jobs: Rediff Moneynews

New Delhi, Dec 12 (PTI) The IT ministry is working on a mechanism to assess security and trust elements in artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, but does not want to start with a regulation as it hinders innovation in the AI ​​space could harm, the official said on Thursday.

S Krishnan, Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and IT, while speaking at the CII’s Global Economic Policy Forum, said the government has largely addressed key regulations, barring a few issues like copyright and existential crisis.

He said under the IndiaAI mission, the government has tried to draw a subtle distinction between responsible AI in the Western sense – which is not expected to be regulated by the government – and safe and trustworthy AI.

“Safe and trustworthy AI is when you do the innovation, try to take responsibility for it, but there would be an assessment. We will try to ensure it is safe and trustworthy in a way that works for everyone. That’s the other area that.” “We don’t want to start with regulation, and regulation in some ways would actually harm innovation in this particular area,” Krishnan said.

He said there is a need for regulation of AI harms, misrepresentations and deepfakes in the AI ​​field and there are enough laws in the country to address misrepresentations.

Talking about the impact of jobs in India, Krishnan said that the impact in the country is not as severe as in the West.

“We looked at the job loss element separately in terms of qualifying people to take up jobs that could potentially replace some of the other jobs. Our concerns about job losses in India, particularly in generative AI, are probably not as great as in.” “In the West, where there are a lot more white-collar jobs and clerical jobs than here,” Krishnan said.

He said there were concerns about the use of personal data, which would be addressed in the Digital Personal Data Protection Act and the rules would be published soon.

Regulation of copyrights in India will be based on the orders of the courts, Krishnan said, adding that there is no need to regulate AI for existential crises.
