India Launches Advisory Panel to Lead AI Governance and Mitigate Risks
April 19, 2026
A new advisory panel will offer recommendations on regulatory, technological, and ethical aspects of AI deployment to develop a comprehensive governance structure.
The panel will promote responsible, safe, and inclusive AI development with emphasis on trust, transparency, and accountability.
India’s governance model remains people-first and principle-driven, balancing innovation with societal values.
The initiative aligns with existing IndiaAI governance efforts, including an AI Governance Group and expert committees under the IndiaAI Mission.
The move seeks to strengthen India's AI governance ecosystem, position the country as a global leader in responsible AI, and mitigate risks such as bias, misuse, and data privacy concerns.
Guidelines favor a flexible, innovation-friendly regulatory model built on existing laws supplemented by new governance structures to oversee AI.
MeitY has formed a technology and policy panel to guide India’s AI governance framework as part of a broader push to institutionalize AI oversight.
The panel will coordinate across ministries, industry stakeholders, and technical experts to address cross-sectoral AI impacts through a whole-of-government approach.
The panel will address risks such as AI-generated misinformation, deepfakes, and algorithmic bias while safeguarding user rights and digital infrastructure.
