India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has unveiled the India AI Governance Guidelines under the IndiaAI Mission, aiming to establish a safe, inclusive, and responsible AI ecosystem. These guidelines are built upon seven core principles—Trust, People First, Innovation over Restraint, Fairness & Equity, Accountability, Understandable by Design, and Safety, Resilience & Sustainability—collectively termed the “Seven Sutras” of India’s AI governance philosophy. The guidelines propose the formation of the AI Governance Group (AIGG), supported by the Technology and Policy Expert Committee (TPEC) and the AI Safety Institute (AISI), to oversee national AI policy, risk assessment, and technical safety standards. An accompanying Action Plan outlines measures such as developing India-specific AI risk frameworks, establishing incident reporting systems, launching awareness programs, creating liability regimes, and piloting regulatory sandboxes for emerging AI technologies.
