Karnataka forms committee to develop ‘responsible AI’ policy

The Karnataka government has established a Responsible AI Committee tasked with formulating a policy aimed at ensuring the safe and ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) across its various departments. This initiative is driven by the need for transparency and to foster public trust in AI technologies, which are increasingly being integrated into government operations. The committee will focus on developing guidelines that address the potential risks associated with AI, while promoting its benefits in public service. By prioritizing responsible AI practices, Karnataka aims to set a benchmark for other states in India, ensuring that technological advancements align with ethical standards and societal needs. This move comes amidst growing global discussions on the governance of AI, as governments seek to balance innovation with public safety and accountability.
