India Launches DEPA Framework to Enable Secure Data Sharing for AI Training
India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has introduced the Data Empowerment and Protection Architecture (DEPA) for AI Training, a framework enabling secure, consent-based data sharing for artificial intelligence model development. Developed with the iSPIRT Foundation, DEPA allows AI models to train on sensitive data within controlled environments without exposing raw data, protecting privacy and institutional control. The framework incorporates privacy safeguards, electronic contracts, and data provenance to foster innovation while complying with upcoming data protection laws.
