Globally, there has been a concession on transparency and the need for algorithmic audits.
Digital India Act
The IT Act 2000 oversees almost every facet of online activities. When the laws were first introduced, social media firms such as Facebook and Twitter did not exist. Technologies such as AI and ML were not as famous as today.
However, a lot has changed in the last 22 years. Fast-paced technological changes with the advent of AI and ML have made it critically important for the regulatory framework to be more specific and effective.
However, much progress has been made in this regard in different parts of the world. Most recently, the European Parliament recently voted in favour of the Digital Services Act (DSA). By doing so, the EU became the first jurisdiction in the world to set a comprehensive standard for regulating digital space. The new legislation could force these firms to share their algorithm with not just the regulators but with the users as well.

To improve the regulation of Artificial Intelligence, the UK government have put forth an AI rulebook to protect data and promote responsible AI use.
These proposals, pitched in the AI rulebook, look toward the future regulation of Artificial Intelligence, and take a less centralized approach than the EU.
Artificial Intelligence refers to machines which learn from data how to perform tasks normally performed by humans. For example, AI helps identify patterns in financial transactions that could indicate fraud and clinicians diagnose illnesses based on chest images – AI is now increasingly used in healthcare settings.
The government’s new plans for regulating the use of artificial intelligence (AI), as a Data Protection and Digital Information Bill introduced to Parliament, will help to develop consistent rules to promote innovation in this technology and protect the public.
