India Launches DEPA Framework for AI Data Sharing Amid Privacy Control Debate
The Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has introduced the Data Empowerment and Protection Architecture (DEPA) for AI Training, aiming to enable secure, privacy-conscious data sharing for AI development. The framework allows AI models to access data without transferring it, emphasizing transparency and control. While MeitY highlights its potential to address privacy and ownership concerns, some experts criticize the framework for reducing individual control over personal data, arguing it shifts decision-making to data-holding institutions, potentially undermining earlier data governance principles.
