## Key points

- India proposes secure data exchanges for AI training.
- Data owners would set rules for how their information is used.
- The plan targets healthcare, finance and education.

## Summary

India’s government has proposed a framework to let AI developers train models on data held by Indian organisations, while keeping that data under the owners’ control. The plan aims to encourage AI tailored to local needs and limit unrestricted access by large technology companies.

Under the Data Empowerment and Protection Architecture for AI Training, hospitals, banks and government agencies would share anonymised, encrypted data through exchange platforms. Developers would train models inside secure environments where data stays encrypted during processing, usage rules are enforced and activity is logged for audits. India says the approach could support healthcare research, extend formal credit to 400 million underserved people and enable personalised learning for millions of students, but it is unclear how much work is needed to put the system into practice.
