Bharti Enterprises calls for AI regulation before rogue agent risks escalate
Governments need to move faster on artificial intelligence safeguards as adoption widens across industries and markets. Sunil Bharti Mittal says regulation should be introduced before a serious accident involving a rogue AI agent occurs, while avoiding limits that would choke the sector's growth.
Highlights
- Bharti Enterprises Chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal calls for immediate AI regulation to manage risks before a major failure or safety incident occurs.
- Mittal emphasizes that AI rules should balance risk oversight without hindering innovation or slowing technology expansion for businesses and economies.
- Mittal cites aviation’s international regulatory model as a template for developing global AI standards applicable across borders and industry participants.
Mittal sets out case for early AI rules
As reported by Bloomberg Billionaires, Bharti Enterprises Chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal is urging policymakers to establish regulatory frameworks for artificial intelligence immediately rather than waiting for a major failure or safety incident.Mittal says the need for oversight is urgent, but adds that rulemaking should not suppress innovation or slow the technology's expansion. His comments frame regulation as a way to manage risk early while still allowing companies and economies to benefit from AI deployment.
Aviation model shapes policy argument
To support his case, Mittal points to aviation as an example of how global regulation can work across a complex industry. He highlights internationally coordinated rules covering slot allocation, flight operations and a shared code of conduct that applies to all carriers.The comparison suggests AI may require similarly broad standards that can operate across borders and participants, especially as the technology becomes more deeply embedded in business operations. For companies and regulators, the debate is increasingly centered on how to build common guardrails before a serious disruption forces a more reactive response.
Our earlier article on Pakistan’s Competition Commission using AI-assisted monitoring showed how regulators are already deploying automated analysis, web-scraping and social-media tools to detect potentially misleading online product claims. It outlined how flagged ads and descriptions move through evidence capture and verification ahead of possible enforcement, alongside efforts to strengthen cross-border cooperation on digital-market challenges.
