Indian regulatory bodies and courts are proactively enforcing AI accountability under existing legal frameworks. The Supreme Court of India recently quashed tribunal orders that relied on artificial intelligence-generated fake citations, prompting the Bar Council of India to establish disciplinary guidelines for advocates using AI tools. Concurrently, sectoral regulators like the Reserve Bank of India are enforcing strict oversight, mandating board-approved gap assessments from financial institutions on frontier-AI cyber risks. These actions demonstrate that Indian enterprises must implement stringent human-in-the-loop oversight and compliance measures immediately, rather than waiting for formal AI-specific legislation.
