India Opts Against AI Regulation 24

Posted by msmash from the taking-a-stand dept.
India does not plan to regulate the growth of AI within the South Asian market, identifying the sector as a "significant and strategic" area for the nation. This stance arrives at a time when numerous voices are calling for increased scrutiny of the rapidly advancing technology. From a report: The Ministry of Electronics and IT said in a long written response on Wednesday that it has assessed the ethical concerns and risks of bias and discrimination associated with AI. The ministry said it's implementing necessary policies and infrastructure measures to cultivate a robust AI sector in the country, but does not intend to introduce legislation to regulate its growth. The expansion of AI will have a "kinetic effect" on entrepreneurship and business development in India, the ministry asserted. "AI is a kinetic enabler of the digital economy and innovation ecosystem. Government is harnessing the potential of AI to provide personalized and interactive citizen-centric services through digital public platforms."

  • If all the other countries are putting in a bunch of AI Regulations, then India will be at an economic advantage over the rest of the world.

    • India's major advantage over most other countries is a large, English-speaking, well-educated, poorly-paid workforce. AI would essentially eliminate that advantage.

      • That advantage will be lost regardless of where the AI gets created. If those companies are in India, then at least they have something in exchange. Regulation by any nation is stupid. The development will only leave their shores.
      • Well-educated? The average is not even close. They have so many people that people see the outliers succeed and make that mistake.

          India's major advantage (...) is a large, English-speaking, well-educated, poorly-paid workforce.

      Yes exactly what I was thinking!

      then India will be at an economic advantage over the rest of the world.

      Oh, that's what you meant. I was more thinking, the killbots would do India last. Your point applies too I suppose.

      Oh great...the earth will die via Kwik-e Mart Terminators.

      Regulations are almost always a very good thing for everyone, with just one exception: irresponsible people and businesses that act against the public interest.

      If you like food that isn't contaminated, bridges that don't collapse, and rivers that don't catch fire, you can thank your good friends in the government for the many strong regulations that keep you safe.

    • No, they will not. China will not be adding anything. And anything that they DO add is simply a fake front. Look at China's genetics, their emissions from power plants, their water pollution, etc. etc. etc.

  • People are going to make a lot of money in the short term with this AI stuff. In the long term it's going to destroy civilization, but clearly whoever has the most stuff at the end of this game of life is the winner.

  • When you are a poor nation, money speaks louder than creepy robots.

  • It will implement policies but not regulate the sector Isn't that a controsense?
  • Pretty soon GPT models are going to be able to write complete code, not just snippets. Now imagine tinkering in a lab that's supposedly airgapped.. you're doing security research. You feed a GPT model with all known CVEs and tell it "hack away, no restrictions." But then some dufus hotspots his phone or the like and the AI quickly sees a new attack vector and establishes a foothold on the broad internet.

    It starts training itself on new techniques like adding fuzzing to its arsenal. It starts developin

      That's pretty funny. Let me guess: in just 10 years, right?

      The magical miracle AI is always just 10 years away. It's been 10 years away since the 60's.

  • In a country where most of the scam factories have their HQ, and most IT work is based on rehashing existing work (yup, code as well...) then AI makes perfect sense. But that's only until layoffs will start, which i believe will reach previously unseen numbers. Or i might be wrong, it could all be for the benefit of everycitizen, not just select few.
