MIB Issues Compliance Advisory on AI Use in Broadcast News
What happened
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued a compliance advisory on October 21, 2026, directing private satellite television channels to limit the use of artificial intelligence and generative AI to assistive roles in news production. The advisory was issued due to concerns over non-compliance with the Programme Code under the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995. It also reinforced rules requiring strict editorial checks on crime and violent imagery, and reiterated the ban on live coverage of anti-terrorist operations.
