    I read the article but still can’t wrap my head over what exactly the provisions are. The ministry itself says that the advisory is not legally binding as of now.

    In a tweet Monday, Chandrasekhar said the advisory is aimed at “untested AI platforms deploying on the India internet” and doesn’t apply to startups.

    I know it started after Google’s Gemini reportedly called the Prime Minister a fascist, well answered, which might have triggered it. But how are they distinguishing tested vs untested AI platforms and what about the startup exclusion thing?
