The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has issued a draft National Data Governance Framework to mobilise citizen non-personal data for use by public and private entities in a bid to improve services.
The draft policy proposes launching a non-personal data-based India datasets programme. It also addresses the methods and rules to ensure that non-personal and anonymised data from both the government and private entities are safely accessible by the research and innovation ecosystem.
The Minister of State (MoS) for Electronics and Information Technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, stated that the National Data Governance Framework will appeal to artificial intelligence (AI) startups, AI research entities, and government departments. He called it an important piece of policy framework that will help the country achieve its target to be a US$1 trillion digital economy. The policy will apply to all government departments and entities. Its rules and standards will be applicable to all data collected and managed by any government entity.
The framework will also accelerate the digitisation of government operations. Currently, digital government data is stored, managed, and accessed in differing and unpredictable ways across different government entities, weakening the efficacy of data-driven governance and preventing an innovative and seamless ecosystem of data science, analytics, and AI. According to the draft, the power of data must be harnessed for more effective digital governance and innovation.

The United States has been working to codify the National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Initiative that focuses on six strategic pillars: improving AI innovation, advancing trustworthy AI, creating new education and training opportunities through AI, improving existing infrastructure through new technologies, facilitating federal and private sector utilization of AI to improve existing systems, and promoting an international environment that supports further advances in AI. In April 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the National Institute on Standards (NIST) announced members of the inaugural National Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee (NAIAC), which will be tasked with advising the Biden administration on how to proceed with national AI governance efforts. At their first meeting on May 4, 2022, the NAIAC discussed the use of AI pertaining to U.S. competitiveness, issues related to workforce, and whether there is adequate national oversight of AI systems. Taken together, the objectives of the national AI initiative and the creation of the NAIAC will ensure strategic and timely approaches to the design and deployment of autonomous systems, as well as further establish national norms.
The Global Alliance for Digital Governance (GADG) considers the US as a major player in global digital governance, in maintaining and protecting democratic values based on standards and values of Social Contract for the AI Age. GADG will work with the Indian Government to synthesize the capacity of two countries in Global Digital Governance.
