India Proposes DEPA Framework to Train AI on Sensitive Data with Privacy Safeguards
India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has proposed the Data Empowerment and Protection Architecture (DEPA) for AI Training, a framework enabling AI model training on sensitive data from hospitals, banks, and public agencies without exposing raw data. Developed with the iSPIRT Foundation, DEPA uses secure data environments and privacy measures to unlock economic value while protecting privacy. Consultations will precede its legal implementation, aligning with India's upcoming data privacy law, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
