Digital nagriks not to be experimented with unreliable models: MoS IT

Chandrasekhar, the Minister of State for IT, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) said ensuring safety and trust are legal obligation of platforms. "Government has said this before - I repeat for attention of @GoogleIndia...Our DigitalNagriks are NOT to be experimented on with "unreliable" platforms/algos/model...'Sorry Unreliable' does not exempt from law," the minister .
