India needs to take a unique approach to Gen AI regulation, says Trilegal Whitepaper

Mumbai, 16 June 2025 – Trilegal, a leading full-service law firm, today released a comprehensive white paper titled “Approach Paper on Regulation of Gen AI in India”. The paper calls for a unique homegrown regulatory framework that champions inclusive innovation over restrictive safety measures adopted by developed nations. The paper prepared by the Technology Media and Telecommunications team of Trilegal argues that India needs a regulatory model tailored to its unique socio-economic landscape to foster the transformative potential of Generative AI (Gen AI) while managing emerging risks.

 The white paper advocates for India to reject the one-size-fits-all approach of the EU and instead create a regulation that aligns with the country’s developmental goals. Unlike developed nations, which can afford to prioritise safety measures at the expense of innovation, India’s emphasis should be on leveraging Gen AI to bridge socio-economic gaps, fostering inclusive growth across sectors like healthcare, education, and financial inclusion.

Core Recommendations

The paper outlines a flexible regulatory model that enables Gen AI growth while addressing its risks. It rejects overly prescriptive, omnibus regulations favouring adaptive, sector-specific guidance. The proposed graduated liability framework accounts for the non-deterministic nature of Gen AI, introducing mechanisms for notice-and-remediation and providing safe harbour protections unless negligence is proven. Liability is proposed to be strict only for extreme harms, including Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) content, child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and non-consensual intimate images (NCII).

 Nikhil Narendran, Partner – Technology, Media & Telecommunications Practice at Trilegal, emphasised, “India is at a defining crossroads. The decisions we make today about AI will shape our economic and social future for generations. We have a real opportunity to ensure this technology drives inclusive growth, grounded in equity, transparency, and trust. What’s needed now is thoughtful leadership, collaborative policymaking, and a commitment to innovation that works for everyone. Our white paper charts a path that enables India to harness AI’s transformative potential while maintaining appropriate safeguards”.

Legislative Changes

The paper also suggests several legislative amendments to support Gen AI innovation. Key recommendations include introducing explicit Text and Data Mining (TDM) exemptions in the Copyright Act, expanding exemptions in the Digital Personal Data Protection Act for AI training, and removing legal barriers that could stifle innovation.

Leveraging Existing Laws

Trilegal’s white paper demonstrates how India’s current legal framework can address many AI-related harms without requiring new laws. Existing laws, such as the IT Act, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and the Consumer Protection Act, can effectively manage AI-related risks like impersonation, misleading advertisements, and election interference. The paper calls for training regulators to apply these laws effectively to emerging AI issues.

Global Comparative Analysis

The white paper contrasts India’s proposed regulatory model with global approaches. Unlike the EU’s strict AI Act, and US’s shifting stance under different administrations, India’s approach is designed to remain nimble and adaptable. Trilegal advocates for flexible regulation, balancing risk mitigation with the immense potential benefits of AI.

 Managing Emerging Risks

To tackle future risks, the paper recommends empowering the IndiaAI Safety Institute to collaborate with global AI safety networks for early risk detection. It also proposes exploring revenue-sharing frameworks for intellectual property concerns and addressing new harms like style mimicry and IP dilution.

Implementation Strategy

Trilegal’s proposal emphasizes adaptive governance. Rather than creating new, rigid laws, India should focus on empowering regulators with the tools and knowledge needed to apply existing laws to Gen AI-related scenarios. The firm suggests starting with sector-specific guidance and using subordinate legislation before enacting primary laws.

Policy Call to Action

The white paper urges policymakers to evaluate whether existing laws can address Gen AI risks, introduce enabling provisions in copyright and data protection laws, and establish notice-based safe harbours for AI developers. The focus should be on genuinely mitigating risks rather than imposing constraints on innovation.

The comprehensive white paper is a blueprint for India’s AI regulatory future. Trilegal stresses that India’s unique socio-economic context requires a regulatory approach that maximizes developmental benefits while maintaining vigilance about emerging risks and dynamic harm mitigation.

This unique three-day retreat brings together the essence of India’s ancient wellness systems, classical and Sufi music, and spiritual practices—offering an immersive journey toward healing and harmony.

Aaroha offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the fast-paced world and reconnect with the self in the lap of nature.

The healing journey at Aaroha will be guided by revered wellness experts and spiritual masters. Among them are Dr. N.K. Sharma, a global name in Reiki and Past Life Regression; Vision Divinity, offering immersive Sound Healing sessions; Meher, a practitioner of Vedic Yogic Healing; and Ayurveda experts from Kairali, known for blending tradition with modern science. These experiences will be complemented by interactive sessions with Vaishnavacharya Jai Jai Sri Abhishek Goswami Maharaj, whose discourses on spirituality in contemporary times are celebrated worldwide.

Speaking about the initiative, Bani Sharma, Co Founder Aaroha Musical Wellness said: “Every activity at Aaroha is crafted to balance the physical, emotional, and spiritual energies of individuals. By uniting ‘Surr, Swar, and Sargam’ with untouched nature, Aaroha offers an immersive journey into self-healing through sound, movement, and stillness.”

At the core of the retreat lies the theme: “Rhythm of Wellness – Embrace Ancient Wellness Therapy, Spirituality & Musical Culture in the Lap of Nature.” Participants will engage in a thoughtfully designed series of wellness sessions including Sound BathsChakra HealingYoga, and Spiritual Talks, all integrated with the therapeutic power of music. These practices aim to restore the physical, emotional, and spiritual balance of each participant.

Beyond therapy and talks, Aaroha will demonstrate how dance formsmudras, and musical instruments are more than cultural expressions – they are conduits of inner transformation. In an age where music is often seen only as entertainment, Aaroha aims to remind the world that all instruments have healing power, and all dance forms are rooted in wellness and spirituality.

The retreat also seeks to spark a larger movement around nature conservation. Through its spiritually rich programming – musical rituals, dance performances, and mindful wellness practices – Aaroha will drive awareness about preserving the planet, especially Uttarakhand’s ecologically sensitive landscapes.

Aaroha’s larger vision is to position India as a global epicenter for wellness tourism, attracting seekers from across the world – just as adventurers trek to Everest, spiritual and wellness travellers will journey to Dehradun to find solace in music, therapy, and nature.

As part of this vision, Aaroha plans to develop eco-friendly wellness hubs in Uttarakhand’s villages that harmonise with the local ecosystem, preserving the region’s natural integrity. It also aims to establish spiritual, Ayurvedic, and musical gurukuls, nurturing future generations in traditional healing arts. Additionally, the retreat intends to foster women empowerment and local employment opportunities through sustainable wellness tourism, while promoting locally crafted organic products such as essential oils, incense, herbal soaps, and remedies derived from native flora of the hills.

With support from both private and government sectors, Aaroha aims to shape Uttarakhand into a holistic wellness destination – where Indian traditions meet global standards of mindful living. The retreat will also serve as a platform to promote India’s diverse cultural heritage, many aspects of which remain unexplored or forgotten. While Indian artists travel abroad to showcase our traditions, Aaroha’s mission is to attract the world to India to experience them in their purest form.

To strengthen its impact, Aaroha invites brands and partners to align with its vision and gain premium exposure to an audience that includes wellness professionals, bureaucrats, ministers, HNIs, investors, lifestyle influencers, and media.
