(IANS) INDIA’S AI Governance Guidelines are anchored in seven ‘Sutras’ to ensure that AI serves as an enabler for inclusive development, economic growth, and global competitiveness, while effectively addressing risks to individuals and society through proportionate, evidence-based measures, according to an official explainer issued on Sunday. Through this structured and forward-looking architecture, India aims to realise the vision of “AI for All,” ensuring that the transformative potential of artificial intelligence contributes meaningfully to the national aspiration of Viksit Bharat by 2047, with benefits reaching every citizen in a safe, inclusive and sustainable manner, the statement said. The seven guiding sutras are Trust is the Foundation, People First, Innovation over Restraint, Fairness & Equity, Accountability, Understandable by Design, and Safety, Resilience & Sustainability.

 

By focusing on “AI for All”, India seeks to combine sovereign capability with open innovation—leveraging public digital infrastructure, indigenous model development, and affordable compute to drive productivity and inclusive growth. This approach aligns AI development with the broader aspiration of Viksit Bharat 2047, positioning AI as a catalyst for economic transformation, social empowerment, and strategic autonomy, the statement said. India’s achievements reflect this deployment-first philosophy. Under the IndiaAI Mission, over 38,000 GPUs have been onboarded through a subsidised national compute facility. AIKosh now hosts more than 9,500 datasets and 273 sectoral models, strengthening indigenous model development. The National Supercomputing Mission has operationalised 40+ petaflop systems, including AIRAWAT and PARAM Siddhi-AI. IndiaAI and FutureSkills initiatives are supporting 500 PhDs, 5,000 postgraduates, and 8,000 undergraduates, while 570 AI Data Labs and 27 IndiaAI labs across states are expanding grassroots innovation. With nearly 90 per cent of startups integrating AI in some form, India is embedding AI deeply into its innovation ecosystem.
