India has become the largest AI training ground. This article examines how AI platforms use user data, legal risks under Indian law and what businesses must contractually protect.

  1. Why India Matters in the Global AI Training Race

India has quietly become the single most important jurisdiction in the global artificial intelligence ecosystem. Not because India hosts the largest AI labs or foundational models, but because it supplies what modern AI systems value most: scale, diversity and behavioural data. With over 730 million smartphones, some of the world's lowest mobile data costs and a population that communicates across hundreds of languages, dialects and socio-economic contexts, India is now the largest real-world training environment for generative AI.

Use Of Artificial Intelligence (AI) In Courts

On June 3, 2026, the Supreme Court of India’s AI Committee released preliminary draft of the Regulations for Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Courts, 2026 (“The Draft”). This marks a shift from scattered experiments with AI tools for translation, transcription, research and case management. With over 93,000 pending matters as of March 2026, the guidelines aim to ease processes for officials and citizens. AI could help reduce backlogs through automated cause-list preparation, transcription, research, and defect scrutiny, but its use also raises serious concerns.

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. For the first time, vendors supplying software, firmware, cloud platforms, or APIs into India carry direct, time-bound, and independently verifiable obligations of their own and not obligations that are merely passed through a customer contract, but obligations CERT-In itself may enforce.
