Here you see: India has now requested all the tech firms in the nation to seek approval before releasing unreliable AI tools.

The warning was sent one week after a senior politician criticized Google’s Gemini AI tool on February 23 in response to claims made by some that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was pursuing “fascist” policies.

Prior to the public release of artificial intelligence (AI) tools that are “unreliable” or in trial, India has requested that tech companies obtain government consent. It also notes that these tools should be labeled with the possibility that they could provide incorrect responses to user inquiries.

Nations are rushing to draft regulations governing artificial intelligence. Regulations for social media businesses, which consider India to be a top growth area, have been tightened.

The warning was sent one week after a senior politician criticized Google’s Gemini AI tool on February 23 in response to accusations made by some that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was pursuing “fascist” policies.

After a day, Google announced that it had swiftly resolved the problem and that the tool “may not always be reliable,” especially when it came to political and current affairs themes.

The country’s IT ministry stated in an advice sent to the platforms last Friday that the usage of such technologies, including generative AI, and their “availability to the users on the Indian Internet must be done so with explicit permission of the Government of India.

Additionally, platforms were urged by India’s Friday advice to make sure their AI technologies do not “threaten the integrity of the electoral process.” This summer will see India’s general elections, where it is anticipated that the ruling Hindu nationalist party will win a resounding majority.
