India needs its own AI safety framework, not a copy of US pact: industry experts

Indian industry experts said India should build its own AI safety framework tailored to its languages, scale and application-led ecosystem rather than replicate the voluntary White House Accord on Super Intelligence signed by Trump and Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Nvidia and xAI on September 29. Experts disagreed on whether voluntary measures alone are sufficient, with some calling for binding rules on transparency and accountability.
