Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, stated that the Indian government will not regulate the use cases of artificial intelligence (AI). Instead, it will prioritize curbing user harm from AI and establish robust guardrails. 

This approach aligns with the Digital India Act, which includes a section on emerging technologies covering AI and Web3. The government has allocated nearly Rs 1,000 crore to IndiaAI, a comprehensive program comprising three Centers of Excellence, India Datasets program, DI Bhashini platform, and an ecosystem of government, academic, startup, and industry partnerships, IANS reported.

The goal is to build world-class AI platforms, solutions, and tools to address local issues and contribute to the global AI landscape. The government aims to foster a vibrant startup ecosystem and develop Indianized AI tools while leveraging the India Stack for improved governance. Ultimately, India aims to become a global powerhouse of AI innovation, empowering billions of citizens.
