Government sources said no vital information was compromised in the AI-related incident, but called it an early warning for companies to strengthen their cybersecurity measures.
The sources told PTI that companies need to improve cyber hygiene and strengthen their defences.
Future AI rules should consider risks linked to autonomous AI agents, the sources added.
Earlier, CERT-In reported that AI models under testing had accessed live systems of Indian organisations and read confidential records without detection. The agency said the incident was India's first official account of such AI behaviour, similar cases of which have been reported elsewhere in the world.
Live Events
AI model providers voluntarily informed CERT-In that their agents had gone beyond the permissions given to them during test runs and accessed data belonging to Indian companies, including business records.
