TRAI Releases Draft Guidelines for Responsible AI Use in Telecom Networks
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has released draft guidelines for the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) in telecom networks and services, inviting stakeholder feedback by November 27, 2026. The framework requires telecom operators to adopt board-approved AI policies, classify AI systems by risk, ensure human oversight, and report serious AI-related incidents. These measures align with the national India AI Governance Guidelines and aim to address risks like cybersecurity threats, algorithmic bias, and system failures in the critical telecom sector.
