India's Draft AI Rules Face Legal and Practical Challenges from Industry

Imagine the government wants to make sure that pictures or voices made by AI are clearly marked so people know they aren't real.

They made some new draft rules for the internet.

But some groups that work with the internet and protect people's rights say these rules might be against the law.

They think the rules give the government more power than the law allows and could stop people from sharing their ideas freely.

They are also unsure if websites that create AI art, like ChatGPT, are even considered 'middlemen' under the current internet law.

The groups worry that making companies check every piece of content will be impossible, leading them to wrongly label or block things, which could even affect political news.

They also fear these rules could lead to more online spying and violate people's privacy.
