#artificialintelligence

Union Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad has said that India will soon put in place a robust personal data protection law. He said, it will not only address the data privacy related concerns of citizens but also ensure availability of data for innovation and economic development. Prasad said, in view of these concerns, the digital platforms having presence in many countries must become trustworthy, safe and secure. He was speaking at the virtual meeting of G-20 Digital Economy Ministers on Wednesday, hosted by Saudi Arabia which is holding the presidency of G-20. Prasad told the Ministers of the G-20 countries that it is time to acknowledge that digital platforms anywhere in the world have to be responsive and accountable towards the sovereign concerns of countries including defence, privacy and security of citizens.
