development and usage of technology. The focus is using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for solving real-
world problems and ultimately improving lives across various sectors.
In this regard, the government has taken an inclusive and innovation-friendly approach to Artificial
Intelligence (AI) governance. India’s AI strategy has been formed after studying legal frameworks around
the world and extensive consultation with stakeholders.
A key pillar of India’s AI strategy is its balanced and pragmatic techno-legal approach to regulation.
