TRAI urges telecom firms to report serious AI failures to regulator

The <b>TRAI</b> has instructed telecom operators to report any <b>serious AI failures</b> to the regulator without delay. The move shines a light on a system that recommended an independent AI watchdog in 2023, yet the government still drags its feet. Bureaucratic inertia lets potential AI glitches slip through, while firms brace for penalties. It also exposes the regulatory lag. Consumers could finally see faster redressal when AI glitches disrupt services, but only if the regulator enforces the rule.
