In a move that underlines its focus on future-ready governance, the Rajasthan government has rolled out a comprehensive artificial intelligence policy designed to promote ethical, responsible, and practical use of AI across the state.
The new policy aims to strike a balance between innovation and accountability. It positions Rajasthan as a progressive state that seeks to use artificial intelligence for public good while protecting citizens’ rights, privacy, and data. The framework reflects growing awareness around digital trust and the need for clear rules as AI becomes part of everyday governance.
A key pillar of the policy is ethical AI deployment. The government has laid out core principles such as transparency, fairness, accountability, and privacy. These guidelines are meant to ensure that AI systems used by state departments and partner organisations do not result in bias, misuse, or unintended harm. Strong data protection measures and secure handling of sensitive information form an important part of the approach.
Beyond ethics, the policy places a strong focus on real-world application. AI tools are expected to be deployed across sectors vital to Rajasthan’s development, including healthcare, education, agriculture, urban planning, water management, and public service delivery. By embedding AI into governance processes, the state aims to improve efficiency, strengthen decision-making, and deliver more citizen-centric services, especially in rural and underserved areas.
The policy also seeks to build a robust AI ecosystem within the state. It encourages collaboration between the government, startups, academic institutions, and industry players. Proposed measures include pilot projects, regulatory sandboxes, and targeted skill development programmes. A strong emphasis has been placed on nurturing local talent through training initiatives that equip students and professionals with AI and data science skills.
Clear governance and oversight mechanisms are another major highlight. Dedicated structures will be put in place to monitor AI deployments, assess risks, and ensure adherence to ethical standards. This is intended to create consistency across departments and prevent fragmented or unregulated use of artificial intelligence.
With this step, Rajasthan joins a growing list of Indian states working towards structured and responsible AI adoption. The policy aligns with the broader national push to use AI for inclusive growth, while reinforcing the message that technological progress must go hand in hand with transparency, responsibility, and public trust.
