The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology released an updated AI advisory this Friday that no longer requires them to get government approval before launching or deploying AI models to users in the South Asian market.
Under the revised guidelines, companies are advised to label inadequately tested and unreliable AI models to inform users of possible flaws or unreliability in those models.
India's Ministry of Information Technology was heavily criticized by a number of prominent figures earlier this month. Martin Casado, a partner at venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, called India's move "hilarious."
India's Ministry of Information Technology announced on March 1 that tech companies need to obtain explicit permission from the Indian government before releasing generative AI-related tools and new models.
The document is not legally binding, but Rajiv Chandrasekhar, India's deputy minister of information technology, said the notification "is signaling that this is the way forward for regulation."
