Need Govt approval to build AI based tech?

still it should be none of govt's concern, this stops innovation & free thinking

It actually is the government's concern once you realise how much impact these models are going to have on the common public. Social media reforms came so late. Atleast this time the government is pro-active, while I do agree with the part that the government shouldn't have absolute control, but if you end up deploying a model to the public then it will definitely have serious implications. Who will take the blame then?

This LI post is fake news. The regulation is only for AI products in testing. You cannot claim that an AI product is under testing after it has been launched. If you are to launch an AI product under testing, you have to take permissions from the government before.

Even I initally thought all AI products are regulated and ranted a ton. But actually not as insane a regulation as I thought before ranting a ton about it. Once I read what's actually proposed, I realised how social media spreads clickbait fake news so quickly.

No the issue is with the Gen AI rules. Anyone who has trained a machine learning model in their life will know how many iterations and experiments go into shipping a model. Mandating government oversight on every model is a neat way of aborting Indian AI innovation.
