This comprehensive policy document details the Government of Maharashtra's strategy to solidify the state as a premier destination for AI enterprise and research. Given the state's economic landscape, the policy likely emphasizes the deployment of AI in financial services (fintech), industrial manufacturing, and smart city infrastructure. It outlines state-sponsored incentives, regulatory sandboxes for safe AI testing, and initiatives to bridge the AI talent gap through academic partnerships.

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.
