India releases AI governance framework to balance innovation and ethical use
India introduced AI governance rules requiring bias audits, data localization, and ethics oversight to support safe and accountable AI development.
The Indian government unveiled its AI governance guidelines to promote responsible development while ensuring accountability and data privacy. The framework introduces mandatory bias audits, algorithmic transparency requirements, and risk classification for AI applications. It encourages sandboxes for startups and mandates local data storage for critical sectors. The policy also establishes a national AI ethics board to oversee compliance and grievance mechanisms. 
The initiative is part of India’s Digital India 2.0 program and aligns with G20 principles on trustworthy AI governance, seeking to position India as a global AI policy leader by 2026.
