India Prepares AI Regulation Amid Security Concerns and Calls for Balanced Oversight
India is preparing a consultation paper on artificial intelligence regulation amid growing concerns over AI risks such as cybersecurity threats, deepfakes, and misuse of advanced models. Experts and officials emphasize the need for human control, risk-based safeguards, and sector-specific rules rather than a single omnibus law. Incidents involving AI agents targeting real systems highlight vulnerabilities, prompting calls for stronger oversight and independent testing. Meanwhile, AI is also seen as an economic equalizer, with stakeholders balancing innovation benefits against emerging challenges.
