- The government has constituted a technology and policy expert committee (TPEC) to support the functioning of the recently constituted AI Governance and Economic Group (AIGEG).
- As an advisory body for the AIGEG, it will provide the group with expert inputs necessary to make well-informed decisions on policy design, regulatory measures, and India’s engagements in AI governance across international forums.
- The AIGEG will set the strategic direction and coordinate policy across government
- The TPEC will provide subject matter guidance by translating technical and policy issues into actionable insights.
- This institutional framework has been designed to enable a dynamic, adaptive, and future-forward approach to AI governance and to ensure strategic, technical, and policy coherence in governance decisions.
Technology and Policy Expert Committee (TPEC):
The Technology and Policy Expert Committee (TPEC) is typically a specialized advisory body set up by governments, regulators, or institutions to bridge technology with policy-making. It’s not a single permanent entity worldwide—different countries (including India) may constitute TPECs for specific sectors or projects.
What does TPEC do?
- Evaluates emerging technologies (AI, cybersecurity, telecom, data systems)
- Recommends policy frameworks & regulations
- Ensures safe, ethical, and scalable implementation
- Advises on data protection, digital governance, and innovation
