A senior government official revealed on Monday that the government is considering storing AI models locally to mitigate potential risks and prevent data from leaving the country.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the Digital Threat Report<\/a> 2024 for the BFSI<\/a> sector, organized by SISA and Cert-In, Ministry of Electronics and IT<\/a> Secretary S Krishnan shared with reporters that the rules of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act are expected to be in place within 6-8 weeks, which will play a crucial role in preventing personal data leaks<\/a>.<\/p>\n When asked about government decisions on Chinese AI platforms and associated risks, Krishnan stated that the government is monitoring large language models (LLMs) in terms of their usage and impact.<\/p>\n “The primary concern lies when data is shared on a portal or mobile app, as it may leave the country and influence how a particular model is trained, resulting in a significant amount of data being shared. However, if the model is hosted in India, the risks of data leakage are substantially mitigated. All these factors will be considered before any final decision is made,” Krishnan explained.<\/p>\n He stated that personal data leaks will be addressed once the DPDP Act is enforced.<\/p>\n “We have received detailed comments on the rules and are examining them rule by rule. We are assessing the comments and determining if any changes are necessary. We may need to complete another internal consultation process after that. I estimate it will take about six to eight weeks,” Krishnan said.<\/p>\n Discussing cybersecurity developments, Krishnan noted that there is increased awareness among people to report incidents.<\/p>\n “Traditionally, in India, people are discouraged from reporting breaches. So, it is a positive development that reporting is happening, allowing us to understand the extent of the problem and identify where issues are arising,” Krishnan said.<\/p>\n He stated that the increase in reporting also indicates that the country’s overall surveillance is improving, and it means that we have greater capacity to detect incidents across the entire cybersecurity space.<\/p>\n \n <\/ul>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here is the rewritten content without changing its meaning, retaining the original length, and keeping proper headings and titles: A senior government official revealed on Monday that the government is…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":13797,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-data-breaches"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/04\/government-weighing-local-storage-of-ai-models-to-mitigate-risk-associated-with-them.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13796\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusionmindlabs.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n <\/p>\n
