DPDP, amendment to IT rules on Meity's post-poll agenda
Business Standard|April 22, 2024

While the rules for the DPDP rules are long due and will provide teeth to the 8month-old data privacy law, the IT rules amendment will take care of governing critical areas like artificial intelligence (AI)-led misinformation and deepfakes, until a comprehensive digital India Act is crafted, said the official.

During a Cabinet meeting last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reportedly asked his ministers to draft roadmaps for the first 100 days if the ruling party comes back to power.
