Technology
India is planning a separate law just for artificial intelligence (AI) to deal with rising issues like deepfakes and fake content.
IT Secretary S Krishnan said current IT rules aren't enough anymore, so the government is working on something more focused.
Vaishnaw outlines 3 hour deepfake removal
Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared that the new rules aim to cover everything from data privacy and algorithm bias to holding people accountable for AI-generated content.
Platforms like X and Instagram already have stricter rules: now they must remove flagged deepfakes within three hours when flagged by a competent authority or court.
The goal is to keep tech innovation alive while making the internet safer for everyone.
