Welcome to This Week in AI Regulations for September 13, 2026.
We begin with significant regulatory developments from India, where the Reserve Bank of India delivered a series of keynote addresses at the Global Fintech Festival 2026 in Mumbai. On September 9, Shri Rohit Jain, Deputy Governor, emphasized the imperative of purpose, prudence, and policy in adopting emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, tokenisation, and quantum computing in finance. He highlighted the need for innovation to serve clear financial purposes, maintain risk management prudence, and be supported by balanced regulatory frameworks that allow innovation while ensuring resilience and accountability.
Following this, on September 10, Shri Sanjay Malhotra, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, recognized fintech as a strategic partner in transforming financial services. He announced the establishment of the United FinTech Forum as the second Self-Regulatory Organisation and introduced new digital infrastructure initiatives, including tokenisation of corporate bonds with central bank digital currency settlement. Malhotra stressed that fintech firms must treat data as a fiduciary responsibility with consent-based, purpose-limited sharing. Firms reaching systemic significance are required to ensure operational resilience, cybersecurity, and business continuity.
On September 11, Shri Shirish Chandra Murmu, Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, outlined evolving regulatory expectations specifically for digital payments, digital lending, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. He emphasized accountability, operational and cyber resilience, fraud prevention, and customer protection. Key requirements include ensuring operational resilience with 24x7x365 availability and robust incident response, strengthening cyber resilience through measures such as exclusive ".bank.in" domains, and fostering collaboration across ecosystem participants to prevent and detect fraud. The policy impact includes adopting frameworks for responsible AI and quantum computing readiness.
Turning to China, the Supreme People's Court issued comprehensive Opinions clarifying liability principles, rights protection, and procedural rules for AI-related civil and criminal disputes. These Opinions emphasize the responsibility of AI providers and users, applying fault-based liability principles for AI infringements unless otherwise specified by law. They regulate unauthorized use of personal images, voices, and reputations via AI, and clarify standards for AI training data use and personal information protection. The Court also applies personality rights injunctions specifically in AI-related cases to protect personal dignity and privacy, balancing innovation encouragement with protection of individual rights and legal certainty.
Additionally, the Supreme People's Court released nine typical anti-unfair competition cases involving AI, new energy, and platform economy sectors. These cases clarify legal boundaries against trademark infringement, technology theft, false advertising, commercial defamation, and misuse of technology, reinforcing fair competition and market order in China’s unified market.
In another development, the State Council of China, chaired by Premier Li Qiang, deployed enhanced safety production measures and approved revised Foundation Management Regulations. The Council emphasized advancing construction and integration of AI computing networks with a focus on technology and infrastructure.
Finally, at the international level, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights called for urgent action to address AI safety risks before they become existential threats to humanity. The Commissioner urged establishment of binding rules and independent oversight for AI development, implementation of clear safety and security guarantees, and prohibition of fully autonomous weapons capable of lethal decisions without human intervention. This call highlights the need for international cooperation and new policies enforcing AI safety and oversight.
