India issues new guidelines for responsible AI development

Technology Nov 05, 2025

India just rolled out fresh guidelines for how AI should be developed and used, aiming to boost innovation while keeping risks in check.
Instead of bringing in new laws, the government wants to use existing rules like IT and data protection laws to manage AI responsibly.

Developers urged to be transparent and accountable

The plan splits into four key areas, calling on agencies like MeitY, RBI, and SEBI to help oversee things.
Developers are encouraged to keep their work transparent and accountable—basically owning up to how their tech performs.
There's also a push for clear data standards and "regulatory sandboxes" so teams can safely test out advanced AI ideas before they go mainstream.
The hope? A thriving but responsible AI scene in India.
