The government is exploring the adoption of a formal classification system for anonymised, nonpersonal data, similar to the approach by the likes of the US and the UK.
The move comes as India seeks to make public data available to address the need for training artificial intelligence models, officials said.
Aimed at measuring sensitivity of non-personal data, the move may potentially open up a trove of public sector data—such as anonymised collective land ownership patterns, historical weather figures, traffic movement and aggregated industry data—to the private sector beyond what is available on Open Government Data and similar platforms. Both global and Indian firms continue to push for more data to train and refine AI models for the Indian market, to create new products and services.
