New Delhi, February 17 The regulations for artificial intelligence should not be overly restrictive, but sufficient to foster innovation in the country, Union Minister Jitin Prasada said on Tuesday.
Speaking at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) New Delhi Symposium 2026, the minister emphasized that everyone should be able to benefit from technological transformation.
India is a rapidly growing market that offers opportunities for various technological innovations, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions.
"Scale, speed, innovation, and inclusion" are the strengths of India, Prasada said.
He is the Minister of State for Electronics & Information Technology as well as Commerce & Industry.
Talking about AI, he said that the policy for regulations is not aimed at over-regulation, and that the regulations are sufficient to foster innovation.
"India will not consider itself successful until everyone in the bottom-up segment benefits from the technological transformation that is happening," Prasada said.
The transformation, the minister said, should be able to increase the productivity of individuals, as well as income levels, and also improve the standard of living. The benefits should reach everyone, he added.
At the symposium, AWS and industry body Nasscom announced entering into a strategic collaboration to train 250,000 learners in AI and Cloud by 2027.
Meanwhile, India is hosting the five-day AI Impact Summit that started on Monday in the national capital.
