Goa’s government released a draft Artificial Intelligence policy in April 2026, outlining plans to position the state as a global center for high-tech innovation.
The policy covers several areas, including AI skilling, innovation, improved governance, and enhanced public services. One of its notable proposals is restricting social media access for children under the age of 16.
The draft has been made available for public feedback, giving residents and stakeholders an opportunity to weigh in before the policy is finalized.
For readers, the policy’s scope suggests it could affect a wide range of groups — from young people and parents impacted by the proposed social media restrictions, to businesses and workers who may benefit from AI skilling and innovation initiatives. The move to integrate AI into public services may also change how residents interact with government systems in the state.
