The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) recently released an advisory stating that any under-tested or unreliable artificial intelligence (AI) models can only be made available to Indian users after receiving explicit permission from the government. This advisory, and the two clarifications by IT Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar that followed it have left a lot of questions unanswered.
In this MediaNama Briefing, we will delve into what the AI advisory says, the questions surrounding it, and the potential implications of the advisory for AI companies.
