INDIA NEWS | Fri, 12 Dec 2025, 6:53AM IST President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday aimed at blocking states from crafting their own regulations for artificial intelligence, saying the burgeoning industry is at risk of being stifled by a patchwork of onerous rules while in a battle with Chinese competitors for supremacy.Members of Congress from both parties, as well as civil liberties and consumer rights groups, have pushed for more regulations on AI, saying there is not enough oversight for the powerful technology.But Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that "there's only going to be one winner" as nations race to dominate artificial intelligence, and China's central government gives its companies a single place to go for government approvals."We have the big investment coming, but if they had to get 50 different approvals from 50 different states, you can forget it because it's impossible to do," Trump said.The executive order directs the Attorney General to create a new task force to challenge state laws, and directs the Commerce Department to draw up a list of problematic regulations.It also threatens to restrict funding from a broadband deployment programme and other grant programmes to states with AI laws.David Sacks, a venture capitalist with extensive AI investments who is leading Trump's policies on cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, said the Trump administration would only push back on "the most onerous examples of state regulation" but would not oppose "kid safety" measures.What states have proposedFour states -- Colorado, California, Utah and Texas -- have passed laws that set some rules for AI across the private sector, according to the International Association of Privacy Professionals.Those laws include limiting the collection of certain personal information and requiring more transparency from companies.The laws are in response to AI that already pervades everyday life. The technology helps make consequential decisions for Americans, including who gets a job interview, an apartment lease, a home loan and even certain medical care. But research has shown that it can make mistakes in those decisions, including by prioritising a particular gender or race.States' more ambitious AI regulation proposals require private companies to provide transparency and assess the possible risks of discrimination from their AI programmes.Beyond those more sweeping rules, many states have regulated parts of AI: barring the use of deepfakes in elections and to create non-consensual porn, for example, or putting rules in place around the government's own use of AI.

INDIA NEWS | Fri, 12 Dec 2025, 6:50AM IST The government may consider amending the Copyright Act based on public feedback to enable the artificial intelligence (AI) royalty payment framework, officials said.We will relook at the paper after all the comments and may amend the Copyright Act, an official said on condition of anonymity, after the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) committee on the intersection of AI and copyright released its first paper on December 8.The second working paper on copyrightability of AI-generated content is expected to be released in around two months.The committee, in the first report, proposed to give a mandatory blanket licence to artificial intelligence developers for using all legally accessed copyrightprotected works to train AI systems. However, the licence should be accompanied by a statutory remuneration right for the copyright holders, according to the committee's recommendation.Under the proposal, a central body would be set up to collect royalty payments from AI companies and distribute them to creators whose content has been used. The working paper is open for public comments for 30 days.Global revenue will decide the percentage of royalty. We will create a grievance redressal mechanism while the dispute will go to court, said the official.As per the official, the final legal architecture has a three-year horizon to materialise.

INDIA NEWS | Fri, 12 Dec 2025, 6:46AM IST The US should sign the trade agreement with India if Washington is happy with what has been offered by New Delhi, commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday.Welcoming US trade representative Jamieson Greers comment that the US has received the best ever offer from India, Goyal said, I do believe that if they are very happy, they should be signing on the dotted lines.He, however, refrained from giving a deadline for the signing of the long-awaited Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) between the two nations.Speaking on the sidelines of an event in Mumbai, the minister said there have been five rounds of negotiations with the US on the trade deal.His statement came as US officials concluded a two-day visit to India to take forward bilateral talks.Goyal said US deputy trade representative Rick Switzer's visit was not centred around BTA negotiations.India and the US are working to finalise the first tranche of the BTA.Washington has imposed 50% tariffs on India, of which 25% are penalty for buying Russian energy, effective August 27.Switzer met Goyal, commerce secretary Rajesh Agrawal and other senior Indian officials during his visit, which was his first after assuming the office.The visit served as an opportunity for both sides to have productive exchanges on a wide gamut of items related to India-US trade and economic ties, including the ongoing negotiations for a mutually beneficial India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement. Both sides agreed to continue the current purposeful and positive engagements, an official said.EU FTAItalys deputy prime minister Antonio Tajani on Thursday expressed hope that the India-European Union Free Trade Agreement (FTA) will be signed in the next six months.Speaking on the sidelines of the Italy-India Business Forum here in the presence of Goyal, Tajani said the deal between the fourth-largest economy and the 27-country bloc is very important as it will help his country's exports.I want to be optimistic, if during the first six months of next year, it is possible to achieve the goal (of signing the deal), said Tajani who is also Italys foreign minister. Goyal, however, declined to give a timeline by which he expects the deal to be signed, but opined that all the issues will be resolved to have a fair, balanced and equitable deal, which will be a winwin for all.He said the deal between two economies of a size, scale and growth potential as India and the European Union will be a "defining agreement" of the 21st century.Obviously, it takes time. Obviously, we have a lot of things to consider, Goyal said. You need to crystal gaze into the future, you need to ensure that sensitivities on both sides are protected, and you need to grab the low-hanging fruit so that businesses and people on both sides can benefit.He said negotiations are with a sense of urgency, but never in haste or with a deadline.

INDIA NEWS | Fri, 12 Dec 2025, 6:19AM IST ET Intelligence Group: ICICI Prudential AMC plans to raise up to 10,600 crore through an offer for sale by Prudential Corp Holdings. The promoter shareholding will decline to 90.1% from 100% after the IPO. The issue is priced at the upper end of sector valuations, reflecting the company's strong growth in assets under management and a rising investor base. However, the company's performance relies heavily on retail investors and is exposed to market volatility. Given these factors, the issue looks suitable for investors with a high risk appetite and a long-term investment horizon. Business Incorporated in 1993, ICICI Prudential AMC offers portfolio management services (PMS), alternative investment fund (AIF), and advisory services. It is the largest AMC in India in terms of active mutual fund quarterly average asset under management (QAAUM) with a market share of 13.3% as of September 30, 2025. As of September 2025, it had an active QAAUM of 8.6 lakh crore, growing year-on-year at 18.6%, outpacing the industry growth rate of 16.8%. It managed 143 schemes as of September 30, 2025, the largest number of schemes in the mutual fund industry. Its individual investors base reached 15.5 million as of September 30, 2025, accounting for 61% of total mutual fund monthly AAUM and 85.7% of equity and equity-oriented schemes monthly AAUM as of September 30, 2025. Retail investors tend to favour equity oriented schemes, which generally attract higher investment management fees as compared with non-equity oriented schemes. Beyond mutual funds, its alternative business added 72,930 crore in QAAUM as of September 30. It faces regulatory risks, as changes such as caps on total expense ratios or stricter compliance norms may compress margins and push up operational costs. 125923640 Financials Revenue increased to 4,683 crore in FY25 from 2,689 crore in FY23 while net profit rose to 2,651 crore from 1,516 crore during the period. During the first half of FY26, revenue reached 2,733 crore from 2,187 crore in the year-ago period whereas net profit rose to 1,618 crore from 1,327 crore by similar comparison. The total QAAUM increased to 8,79,410 crore in FY25 from 4,99,630 crore in FY23 while active QAAUM increased to 7,55,230 crore from 4,49,240 crore during the period. Return on equity improved to 82.8% in FY25 from 70% in FY23. Valuation Based on annualised profit for six months to September 2026, the price-earnings (P/E) multiple works out to 33, compared with 18-36 for peers including HDFC AMC, Nippon Life India Asset Management, UTI AMC and Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC. In addition, it commands a market capitalisation-to-AUM multiple of 10.5 compared with four-thirteen for peers.
