Government Unveils New Data-Sharing Framework to Enhance AI Training While Ensuring Privacy

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has officially launched the <b>Handbook on Data Empowerment and Protection Architecture (DEPA)</b> to streamline AI training. Unveiled by MeitY secretary <b>S Krishnan</b>, the framework aims to create a robust ecosystem for data sharing while maintaining strict user privacy standards. This initiative is designed to provide developers with high-quality datasets necessary for building advanced artificial intelligence models. By implementing this architecture, the government intends to balance technological innovation with data security. The framework provides clear guidelines for organizations to handle sensitive information responsibly, ensuring that data empowerment does not come at the cost of individual privacy. This move aligns with broader national efforts to position India as a global leader in AI development. This framework will likely accelerate the deployment of AI-driven solutions across various sectors by simplifying access to secure, standardized data.
