India Eyes AI Law to Regulate Autonomous Agents and Deepfakes

The Indian government is drafting a comprehensive artificial‑intelligence law that may impose new rules on autonomous agents.

The draft is expected to address the growing use of AI agents that can act independently, setting standards for their design and deployment.

Another key focus of the proposal is to tackle the proliferation of deepfakes, with provisions that could make the creation and distribution of manipulated media illegal.

The law aims to protect citizens from potential harms while encouraging responsible innovation in the AI sector.
