The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has issued an ‘Expression of Interest’ document seeking proposals for building tools and frameworks based on Responsible AI themes. The government will be providing grant-in-aid support to at least 10 such research projects under the National Program on Artificial Intelligence (NPAI) and IndiaAI programmes to promote ethical practices in deployment of AI. This move is similar to the US government’s call for public feedback on policies that can support better assessment of AI systems and how regulators can ensure AI accountability. The document brings to notice the role of “machine unlearning algorithms” for addressing inaccurate and biased information and the use of synthetic data for testing AI models.
