We are celebrating the 2 years of the IndoPacific.App by VLiGTA®, India's first unique technology law and AI governance archive, which hosts around 230+ unique contributions in law & tech, public policy, geopolitics, and law 101, mostly from Indian minds, and contributors. We were doing some data crunching using AI tools, and then we performed some manual checks. Turns out - on the https://indopacific.app site, we have registered contributions of around 239 authors/ contributors, most of which are Indians. This is an insane number covering the years 2020 to 2025 upto April 12. Editorial contributions count upto 28. Now, to be fair, we have not counted how many times these authors and editors have contributed, or else the number would go beyond 300, quite easily, which is something our founder Abhivardhan, and our team never anticipated. We are happy that we have hosted and will host unique works - mostly on technology law, and AI governance by various young people on this archive. And the best part: 99% of it is actually free. So do go to indopacific.app and download some amazing inputs from this crazy archive, today. cc Observer Research Foundation Nishith Desai Associates Indian Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law Indian Council of Social Sciences Research (ICSSR) Ministry of Education – UAE Mugdha Satpute Vignesh Ram, PhD Ajay Sharma Sunil Jose Ayush C.

Indic Pacific Legal Research LLP is proud to announce the release of the fifth version of AIACT.IN, India's pioneering privately proposed artificial intelligence regulation framework. This milestone release continues our commitment to developing a comprehensive, India-specific approach to AI governance that balances innovation with responsible development and deployment. About AIACT.IN First introduced on November 7, 2023, AIACT.IN represents the culmination of extensive research and consultation led by our founder, Abhivardhan. This initiative was inspired by valuable encouragement from industry experts, who recognized the need for India-specific AI legislation. Key Enhancements in Version 5.0 Our legal research team has implemented several significant updates in this latest iteration: ⚖️ Enhanced Content Provenance Framework (Section 23) We've completely revamped regulations for AI-generated content, introducing mandatory watermarking with machine-readable metadata that documents data sourcing, geographic origins, and licensing information. This comprehensive "deepfake amendment" also requires ethical data collection practices and substantial liability insurance coverage (₹50 crores) for high-impact systems. 🔍 Refined Risk Classification (Section 7) Our proprietary risk assessment methodology now categorizes AI systems into four distinct tiers (Narrow, Medium, High, and Unintended Risk) based on concrete cybersecurity and data protection parameters, focusing on tangible outcomes and impacts. 🛡️ Strategic AI Governance (Sections 9 & 13) We've restructured the National AI Ethics Code to eliminate redundancy while introducing binding principles specifically for high-risk AI deployments in strategic sectors. 🏛️ Government Transparency (Section 20A) In alignment with RTI frameworks, we've streamlined disclosure requirements for AI initiatives within government entities and public-private partnerships. 📚 AI Literacy as a Right (Section 24-A) This groundbreaking new provision establishes universal AI literacy as a fundamental right for Indian citizens. Access The Framework The complete framework is now available at aiact.in For inquiries regarding implementation or consultation, please contact us at vligta@indicpacific.com
