The Centre may begin work on a dedicated legal framework for artificial intelligence (AI) as the technology continues to evolve, Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), S Krishnan, said on Friday, indicating that the government believes the time may be right to consider separate legislation to regulate AI.
Responding to a question from a reporter on AI regulations at the sidelines of a CII conference, Krishnan said discussions on a dedicated legal framework had commenced after the government had so far relied on existing legal provisions to address emerging challenges.
