Approach Document for India: Part 3 - Adopting Framework - A use case approach on facial recognition technology
Initiative overview
As a follow-up to NSAI, stakeholder discussions on the suggested method for the responsible use of new technologies were launched in 2019 in partnership with the World Economic Forums. It culminated in 2021 with the publication of a two-part approach document outlining principles for the responsible design, development, and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) in India, as well as enforcement measures for operationalising these principles (RAI principles).Against the backdrop of a growing clamour for developing governance and regulatory frameworks to reduce the possible hazards of AI while maximising its advantages for the most significant number of people, they set these RAI principles. These are safety and reliability, inclusivity and non-discrimination, equality, privacy and security, transparency, accountability, protection and reinforcement of positive human values.Furthermore, the proposed method needs to be tested in a use case to determine the recommended approach's efficacy and identify associated challenges. Therefore, facial recognition technology (FRT) has been selected as the first use case to examine the previously stated RAI principles and operationalisation mechanism.
