AI Needs Guardrails: MIB Official Stresses Trust, Not Erosion, in Innovation
- •Prabhat, Additional Secretary, MIB, emphasized that AI should empower creativity, improve competitiveness, and preserve trust and rights for sustainable innovation.
- •He highlighted that AI is transforming content creation speed, distribution, and authenticity, positioning India to lead due to its talent and market.
- •Harmful synthetic media, especially impersonation and deception, must be treated as misuse, not innovation, according to the MIB official.
- •The government has initiated consultations on generative AI and copyrights, with the consultation period extended until February 6.
- •Stakeholders urged for a human-centric approach, voluntary licensing, and a balanced regulatory framework to protect rights while fostering responsible AI innovation.
Why It Matters: AI innovation requires guardrails to ensure it empowers creators, builds trust, and protects rights, rather than eroding them.
