“Our approach to AI regulation, or any regulation, is to regulate in terms of user harm. We protect Digital Nagrik from harm, or consequential harm from technology. We will not allow the giving platform to operate in India,” he added.
Chandrasekhar’s comments came after Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, creator of the popular chatbot program ChatGPT, called for regulation of major companies operating in the AI space, including his own. It came at a time when they were calling for regulation to be imposed on small businesses and start-ups. Innovation can be stifled if left unattended.
He added that current AI is task-oriented and not sophisticated enough, so the threat of AI taking over or replacing jobs is not imminent in the near future.
“AI will be disruptive for a while, but in the current state of AI development, AI is very task-oriented and illogical, so in the next few years the threat of so-called job displacement or job elimination will be threatened. I can definitely say you won’t see it, logic and jobs usually have reasoning and logical AI isn’t sophisticated enough at this stage,” he said.
However, AI could replace jobs at very low levels of intelligence and repetitive tasks, and AI could become intelligent enough to replace jobs in the next 5-10 years. he pointed out. “Now AI is being applied to the task, making it more efficient,” he said.
Discussing India’s digitization journey over the past nine years, the Minister added that the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill will soon be submitted to parliament while consultations on the Digital India Bill will begin this month.
