India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) revised its AI advisory, removing the requirement for AI companies to obtain government permission before deploying untested AI models.

India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has revised its advisory on artificial intelligence (AI), removing the requirement for AI companies to obtain government permission before deploying untested AI models in the country. The updated advisory advises platforms to label "under-tested and unreliable AI models" to inform users of potential fallibility or unreliability, and also to ensure the use of AI models does not allow users to host or share unlawful content. The original advisory, issued on March 1, faced criticism from tech firms and demanded unspecified censorship without citing any legal authority.
