Released in October 2020 by the Government of Tamil Nadu, this is India's first state-level AI ethics policy. The policy aims to make AI inclusive, free of bias, fair, equitable, ethical, and transparent. Its primary objectives include fostering fairness, equity, transparency, and trust in AI-assisted decision-making systems used in public governance. Key features include establishment of evaluation frameworks before AI deployment for public use, including the Six-Dimensional TAM-DEF Framework (Transparency, Accountability, Misuse Protection, Data Protection, Ethics, Fairness) and DEEP-MAX Scorecard (Data, Ethics, Equity, Privacy - Monitoring, Accountability, eXplainability). The policy promotes development of a regulatory sandbox for startups, private/public enterprises, and academia to research and deploy AI applications.
