As India moves forward with the responsible and safe adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI), IT giant Infosys has unveiled its open-source Responsible AI toolkit. Aimed at addressing ethical concerns and mitigating risks associated with AI, this initiative is part of the Infosys Topaz Responsible AI Suite and aims to help businesses adopt AI responsibly while ensuring transparency, fairness, and security.
The toolkit is designed to equip organizations with advanced tools to detect and prevent AI-related risks, such as privacy breaches, security threats, biased outputs, harmful content, and even copyright violations. It also tackles issues like misinformation, deepfakes, and malicious use of AI. With its wide range of applications, the toolkit will be an invaluable resource for companies to align their AI models with ethical and responsible standards.
Abhishek Singh, Additional Secretary at the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), praised the initiative, emphasizing that the toolkit will help improve the safety, privacy, explainability, and fairness of AI systems. “This will go a long way in enhancing Security, Privacy, Safety, Explainability, and Fairness in AI-based solutions. It will also help mitigate bias in AI algorithms and models,” Singh said.
The toolkit’s standout feature is its ability to boost transparency in AI-generated outputs, helping businesses understand how AI systems make decisions without compromising performance or user experience. Additionally, its open-source nature allows for easy customization, making it adaptable to various AI models and business needs. The toolkit is compatible with both cloud and on-premise systems, offering seamless integration for organizations across sectors.
“As AI becomes central to driving enterprise growth, its ethical adoption is no longer optional. The Infosys Responsible AI Toolkit ensures that businesses remain resilient and trustworthy while navigating the AI revolution,” said Balakrishna D.R. (Bali), Executive Vice President, Global Services Head, AI and Industry Verticals at Infosys.
The announcement of the toolkit comes at a crucial time when India is emerging as a key player in the global AI revolution, with industry leaders acknowledging the country’s rapidly growing influence in the AI space. In fact, during the AI Action Summit in Paris, tech giants such as Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, recognized India’s potential to lead the AI frontier, citing its massive talent pool, vast data wealth, and rapid adoption of AI technologies.
Altman noted, “India is an incredibly important market for AI in general and OpenAI in particular. It is our second-biggest market; we tripled our users here in the last year. India should be among the leaders of the AI revolution. It’s really quite amazing to see what the country has done.”
Sundar Pichai added, “India has the potential to lead the AI frontier,” echoing the sentiment shared by Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, who emphasized the importance of Indic languages in the country’s AI advancements. Nadella highlighted the nation’s “maths talent, academic institutions, and research institutions” as key drivers in shaping the future of AI.
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, also urged India to “manufacture its own AI,” noting that the country could become a global powerhouse for AI delivery. According to Arvind Krishna, CEO of IBM, India’s massive population and data wealth would provide a unique advantage in the evolving AI landscape.
India’s readiness to adopt and scale AI is evident, with 30% of Indian companies having maximized AI’s value potential, surpassing the global average of 26%. Additionally, according to the Bosch Tech Compass Survey 2025, over 50% of Indians have actively self-educated in AI-related skills, further underscoring the country’s commitment to staying ahead in the AI race.
Vishal Sikka, Former CTO of SAP & Infosys, also weighed in on India’s potential, stating that the country, known for thriving in resource-constrained environments, should not shy away from building AI models, adding, “India should build applications, but it is wrong to say that India should not build models.”
As global tech leaders recognize India’s pivotal role in AI, Infosys’ Responsible AI toolkit is set to play a crucial role in shaping the future of AI adoption in the country. By providing businesses with the tools to ethically manage AI systems, the toolkit helps foster a responsible AI ecosystem that prioritizes safety, fairness, and transparency.
In this context, the toolkit’s launch aligns with India’s broader push to become a leader in the AI sector, enabling local and global businesses to harness the full potential of AI in a responsible and ethical manner.
