Abstract

The unification of Artificial Intelligence has become habitual in our lives which has resulted in a reconstructed society thoroughly, offering a multitude of interests and new challenges. With the evolution of technology, the cybercriminal activities have increased in masses, resulting for an inclusive legal framework to mark such offences.

CERT-In’s New AI-Vulnerability Guidelines: A Quick-Reference For OEMs, Tech Vendors And In-House Counsel

Cybersecurity regulation in India has, until now, largely spoken to the entity that suffers the breach. The 2022 CERT-In Directions issued under Section 70B of the Information Technology Act, 2000 fixed a six-hour reporting clock on the organisation that detects an incident. The new Guidelines flip the lens onto the entity upstream of that breach, the OEM or technology provider that built the product in the first place.
