The Karnataka government has formed an expert committee to develop guidelines for the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI), as the technology is rapidly being adopted across sectors. The move is aimed at creating a policy framework that supports innovation while addressing concerns around accountability, transparency and data governance.

Officials said the committee will study how AI systems are being deployed in industry, research and public services. The panel will review global practices and assess how similar regulatory approaches can be adapted to Karnataka’s technology ecosystem.

Bengaluru, the state capital, is home to a large share of India’s AI startups, research labs and global technology centres.
