Need Sebi-like regulatory model for artificial intelligence: Sanjiv Sanyal

India will evolve norms for regulating artificial intelligence, and the AI regulator could function as regulator Sebi, Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC) member Sanjiv Sanyal said on Thursday. Stating that the model of self-regulation and bureaucratic regulation is unlikely to work in the artificial intelligence space, Sanyal suggested that India could think of having a regulator, which understands the technology and pays attention to how it is evolving. "You need to create the equivalent (like Sebi) for the AI system. You need a regulator who understands the technology and, instead of wasting time predicting where it will go, pays attention to how it is evolving," Sanyal said at the 'DATE with Tech' event here. For regulating the AI, a system has to be put in place, you need manual overrides just like circuit breakers in the financial market, he added. "You need skin in the game and ex-ante accountability. Just like you have boards in the company, who are accountab

Terming deepfakes as a new threat to democracy, IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Thursday said that the government will come up with new regulations soon to tackle deepfakes. The minister, who met social media platforms on the deepfake issue on Thursday, said that companies have agreed on the need for clear actionable work in areas such as detection, prevention, strengthening of reporting mechanism, and raising user awareness.

Altman's firing and reinstatement; What does it mean for the future of AI?

It's been quite a week for ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and co-founder Sam Altman. Altman, who helped start OpenAI as a nonprofit research lab back in 2015, was removed as CEO Friday in a sudden and mostly unexplained exit that stunned the industry. And while his chief executive title was swiftly reinstated just days later, a lot of questions are still up in the air. If you're just catching up on the OpenAI saga and what's at stake for the artificial intelligence space as a whole, you've come to the right place. Here's a rundown of what you need to know. WHO IS SAM ALTMAN AND HOW DID HE RISE TO FAME? Altman is co-founder of OpenAI, the San Francisco-based company behind ChatGPT (yes, the chatbot that's seemingly everywhere today from schools to health care ). The explosion of ChatGPT since its arrival one year ago propelled Altman into the spotlight of the rapid commercialization of generative AI which can produce novel imagery, passages of text and other media. And as he became Silico
