Chat GPT and its various 'features' are at the centerpiece of many a recent dinner time conversation. Its popularity underscores just how much AI based tools such as chat bots, facial recognition software, text editors, personal assistants, etc., have already become a part of our everyday life. Since regulation always lags innovation, discourse on regulating AI is still at a nascent stage. But this discussion has been given a shot in the arm by the ubiquity of Chat GPT and its various avatars (and, to be fair, there is a separate conversation to be had about the privacygaps in Chat GPT itself).

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.
