Stating that moving forward in the field of AI is very important, Sood said the government will regulate this sector very efficiently so that innovation is not hindered in any way.
He said the Indian government's policy on AI is neither very strict like Europe nor completely open like America.
"If any AI model violates our laws through criminal acts like deep fake or impersonation, then obviously appropriate action will be taken," he added.
Sood said legal violations will be prevented with the help of a techno-legal approach in the field of AI and the privacy of people's data will also be protected.
