Democratising Access to AI Infrastructure (White Paper, Version 3.0)
Released on December 29, 2025, by the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India (Prof. Ajay Kumar Sood), this is the first white paper in the series on "Emerging Policy Priorities for India's AI Ecosystem". The white paper defines democratising access to AI infrastructure as making foundational AI resources—compute capacity, high-quality datasets, and enabling tools—available beyond a limited set of large firms and major urban hubs, treating them as shared national resources.
The AIACT.IN India AI Regulation Tracker
This is a simple regulatory tracker consisting all information on how India is regulating artificial intelligence as a technology, inspired from a seminal paper authored by Abhivardhan and Deepanshu Singh for the Forum of Federations, Canada, entitled, "Government with Algorithms: Managing AI in India’s Federal System – Number 70".
We have also included case laws along with regulatory / governance documents, and avoided adding any industry documents or policy papers which do not reflect any direct or implicit legal impact.
