AI developer Anthropic has recommenced external cybersecurity testing following previous hacks targeting its Claude AI platform. This move highlights the critical need for continuous and rigorous security assessments for technology companies, especially those handling sensitive data or developing advanced AI. For Indian businesses leveraging or building AI, this underscores the Section 8 — Data Fiduciary obligations to maintain reasonable security safeguards, as failures could lead to significant penalties up to ₹250 Cr under the DPDP Act.

2. Meta's Child Safety Settlement In US Could Intensify India's Regulatory Glare

Source: Google News DPDP | Read Original → Meta's recent child safety settlement in the US is poised to amplify regulatory scrutiny over similar issues in India. This development is particularly relevant given Section 9 — Obligations of Data Fiduciaries regarding children's data under the DPDP Act, which mandates stringent requirements for obtaining verifiable parental consent and prohibits specific types of processing for minors. Indian platforms and apps accessed by children should expect heightened oversight from authorities concerning their data collection and protection practices.
