India needs its own AI safety framework, not a copy of US pact: Industry experts
India should build its own artificial intelligence (AI) safety framework suited to its languages, scale, and application-led AI ecosystem rather than replicate a voluntary pact signed by US President Donald Trump and top technology firms last week, industry experts said. They also called for a com
Industry experts argue India should develop its own AI safety framework instead of replicating the voluntary US pact signed by President Donald Trump and major tech firms. The White House Accord on Super Intelligence, signed on September 29, requires companies to implement internal controls and oversight measures to monitor AI models, while agreeing to regular safety standard-setting meetings.
However, experts contend that a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient for India's diverse languages, scale, and application-led AI ecosystem. They propose a hybrid approach, combining mandatory rules for high-risk areas like defense, healthcare, and banking with voluntary standards for more rapidly evolving technologies. This would ensure India's AI safety regulations keep pace with technological advancements while preventing potential harms and promoting innovation.
