Google unveils Safety Charter for India’s AI-led transformation

Alphabet’s (GOOGL) (GOOG) Google unveiled Google’s Safety Charter for India’s AI-led transformation. “India’s digital economy has grown progressively, thanks to the flywheel created by affordable devices and access, online citizen services, ease of payments and a bustling digital marketplace of goods and services,” the company said in a blog post. “The invisible connective tissue that keeps this flywheel moving, is trust. The digital sphere can be an engine of growth only as long as the citizenry that use it feel safe in doing so. As AI proliferates deeper into our digital lives, it’s crucial that we, as responsible stewards of India’s tech industry, ensure that the trust reposed by users in India’s digital ecosystem remains unchanged. Towards this, we’re excited to share Google’s Safety Charter for India’s AI-led transformation. Under this charter, we shared how AI is eliminating vulnerabilities in enterprise software, how Google’s investment in its products and programs are keeping users safe, and the various ways in which AI is closing the gap between attackers and defenders.” The three key themes for the charter include: keeping the end user safe from online frauds and scams; the DigiKavach campaign, or mitigating financial fraud in the ecosystem and its products, and; advancing cybersecurity for public and enterprise infrastructure.
