 Artificial intelligence shouldn't be vilified or banned entirely: Chandrasekhar Rajeev

At the next GPAI Summit in Delhi, Minister of State for Electronics and information technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar disclosed that different countries would discuss a global framework for governing artificial intelligence. He anticipates that the framework will be in place in the next six months.

On November 3, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Minister of State for Computers and Information Technology, said that the development of the technology's innovation ecosystem, startups, and research cannot be sacrificed in the name of regulating artificial intelligence (AI) and guaranteeing user safety.

"During the summit, we maintained reiterating that for us safety is a critical concern, but our goal is to grow AI and making sure there is an environment for AI, research, startups, as well as innovation, is as important for us as maintaining the security of AI," Chandrasekhar told reporters after returning from the United Kingdom, where he attended the AI Safety Summit and met with counterparts from various countries. We should not have to choose between doing safety and running the danger of the digital economy expanding too quickly."

"AI continues to be a really wonderful prospect for the globe, including India. It should neither be vilified or outlawed, the speaker stressed.

During these discussions, Chandrasekhar also urged the creation of an institutional framework for international regulation of AI and a consensus on the dos and don'ts of AI.

The minister said that India and other nations would discuss this suggested global framework on AI during the next Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) Summit, which is set to take place in New Delhi in December.

Following the discussion, Chandrasekhar anticipates that the framework will be in place in the next six to seven months, coinciding with the anticipated holding of the AI Safety Summit in South Korea.

Additionally, Chandrasekhar said that at the GPAI summit, countries would talk about the four negative effects of AI: disruption to the current workforce; privacy implications; and "non-criminal harms" including prejudice in AI and the weaponization and criminalization of AI.

This coincides with India's preparation of the Digital India Bill (DIB), which will replace the Information Technology Act, which has been in place for more than 20 years.

According to Moneycontrol, the DIB may provide safeguards against AI algorithms, such as giving people the ability to choose not to be bound by the judgments made by an algorithm, al
