India’s AI‑law push leaves stakeholders questioning algorithm‑modification rule
India’s draft AI law faces criticism over ‘algorithmically modified’ content requirement seen as too broad and potentially burdensome.
India’s proposed rules on algorithmically modified content—part of its draft AI framework-are meeting push‑back from industry and stakeholders who argue the definition is overly broad. For example, applying any colour‑filter to a photo could trigger tagging obligations under the ‘algorithmically modified’ label. 
Critics say the regulation could burden platforms, stifle innovation and create compliance bottlenecks. 
Government officials say the rule aims to ensure trust and accountability, though many seek clarity on thresholds and enforcement timelines.
