On how many guiding sutras or principles are the India AI Governance Guidelines anchored?
- A.Five
- B.Six
- C.Seven
- D.Nine
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is seven. The India AI Governance Guidelines, released by the Government of India in February 2026, rest on seven guiding sutras: Trust is the Foundation, People First, Innovation over Restraint, Fairness and Equity, Accountability, Understandable by Design, and Safety, Resilience and Sustainability. Options A, B and D are wrong because they miscount the list, and a candidate who remembers only a few of the principles can easily be trapped. The stated purpose of the document is to use the transformative potential of artificial intelligence for inclusive development and global competitiveness while addressing the risks it poses to individuals and to society, and the fourth part of it gives practical guidance for industry actors and regulators. The telecom draft applies this framework inside one sector.
