In view of the uproar over the Centre’s new advisory that needs prior permission for AI models before their launch in India, on 4th March 2024, IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced that certain platforms and startups will be free from these rules and regulations. The minister also announced that the new rules will not be applicable to platforms working in agriculture and healthcare sectors. Ashwini Vaishnaw, however, repeated that social media platforms will come under the purview of the new rules. For the safety of citizens and the country’s democracy, proper training of AI models is necessary, as said by Vaishnav.
