The government is implementing advanced AI-powered cybersecurity measures, including specialized protocols and real-time threat detection, to safeguard critical infrastructure and digital assets from emerging vulnerabilities.

These initiatives include developing comprehensive AI-based security solutions that cover the entire system lifecycle, supported by collaborative defense mechanisms and security guidelines.

To enhance security, AI-driven threat detection systems will monitor and respond to cyberattacks in real time, ensuring proactive defense against evolving threats.

Regulatory guidelines are being established to combat disinformation, privacy violations, and fake news, while also fostering indigenous research, startup participation, and ethical data practices.

The government will enforce transparency and accountability through lifecycle evaluations, impact assessments, and regular audits, supported by legal frameworks and third-party oversight, to ensure AI systems adhere to ethical standards.

A public register will disclose government AI systems, with ongoing evaluations and audits to monitor compliance, complemented by mandatory legal penalties for violations.

Enhanced identity and access management measures, including multi-factor authentication and role-based controls, will be enforced through a national Trust and Identity Management Policy to strengthen accountability.

Content verification mechanisms and adherence to intellectual property laws will be prioritized to protect creators’ rights and ensure responsible AI use.

Regulatory sandboxes are being introduced to facilitate agile testing and responsible development of AI technologies, with at least 20 enterprises expected to benefit by 2027.

Transparency and human oversight are emphasized, especially for high-risk AI applications, with mandatory oversight mechanisms and a public register of government AI systems.

An open-source AI governance framework will be established to regulate secure and collaborative AI development, ensuring data security and controlled sharing.

A comprehensive national data security policy will define standards, auditing procedures, and training, supported by a multi-layered defense strategy across cybersecurity layers.

The AI Directorate and Centre of Excellence in AI will focus on addressing challenges related to Generative AI, promoting research, ethical use, and regulation of disinformation and privacy issues.
