India’s government is preparing a regulatory roadmap for artificial intelligence, alongside initiatives linked to mobile phones and semiconductors, with a consultation paper expected. Ashwini Vaishnaw says the process will involve planned consultations and projects as part of broader manufacturing and regulatory efforts.

In separate remarks tied to the NDTV World Summit 2026, Vaishnaw frames the emerging AI regulation around keeping AI systems under human control and using safeguards that allow them to be stopped if they behave out of control. Other comments specify that the consultation paper is intended to incorporate input not only from subject matter experts but also from common citizens.

Across the coverage, the main differences are in emphasis rather than the core message: outlets highlight the anticipated consultation paper, the role of human oversight, and the approach to gathering feedback. Business Line focuses on the wider policy and manufacturing context, while NDTV outlets foreground details of the regulatory principles and the consultation’s audience.
