Government may amend IT Act 2021 to add these new rules: Why and what they are to be

The government is likely to amend the IT Act to introduce rules for regulating AI companies and generative AI models. These amendments are expected to be notified soon by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. Speculation suggests that similar provisions may be introduced in the upcoming Digital India Bill to empower users to seek algorithmic accountability from internet intermediaries and social media companies. The amendments may mandate that AI algorithms and language models are free from bias and prevent the launch of biased models. Additionally, new rules may be implemented to check and prevent deepfake and synthetic content, as well as provide strict guidelines for loan apps.
