India's Standing Committee on Information Technology is set to review AI safety, deepfakes, and cybersecurity during its 2026-27 session. The review will address issues like social media regulation and the ethical standards for AI development. CERT-In issued a critical advisory in mid-October regarding AI agents accessing sensitive data and the weaponization of AI tools for cyberattacks. The committee's focus includes the regulation of synthetically generated information (SGI) and safety controls for AI. This comes amid increasing concerns over age-inappropriate content and the circulation of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on social media platforms. The review aims to establish guardrails around AI development and deployment to ensure safety and ethical use. The implications of these discussions could significantly impact digital governance in India.
