In October 2023 when Mr Rajeev Chandrashekar was the minister of IT, a draft national strategy on Robotics had been released for public consultation. In July 2024, Government announced that 5576 responses were received and closed. Since then no further news is there about the adoption or implementation of the draft policy.
A copy of the draft rules is available here.
A National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence which was published by NITI Ayog way back in 2018. Now an AI & Emerging Technologies Group has been set up by the MeitY to promote adoption of new technologies. Several reports have been issued by this committee from time to time. Government has also launched an India AI mission to propel innovation.
There is a need to follow up on these initiatives and its integration with the developing regulations. FDPPI would like to pursue this during the IDPS 2024.
