Home Minister Amit Shah announced a strict zero‑tolerance policy against infiltration and the misuse of artificial intelligence to address India's security challenges.
New Delhi — In a recent statement, Home Minister Amit Shah underscored the government's resolve to adopt a zero‑tolerance approach toward any form of infiltration that threatens national security. He highlighted that the growing sophistication of hostile actors demands a proactive stance, especially as they increasingly exploit emerging technologies.
Shah specifically warned against the misuse of artificial intelligence, noting that AI tools can be weaponized to facilitate espionage, cyber‑attacks, and the spread of disinformation. He urged security agencies to strengthen monitoring mechanisms and to develop counter‑AI capabilities to stay ahead of adversaries.
The minister called for coordinated efforts among intelligence, law‑enforcement, and cyber‑security units to detect and neutralize infiltration attempts at the earliest stage. He assured that any violation of the zero‑tolerance directive would attract swift legal action.
While details of operational measures remain classified, the announcement signals a heightened focus on integrating technology-driven safeguards into India's broader security framework.
