AI is transforming industries in India, raising legal concerns such as data privacy, intellectual property, liability, and ethical issues like bias. AI’s reliance on vast datasets increases risks to personal data security, and accountability becomes a critical issue, especially with AI-driven errors.
India’s regulatory framework is evolving, with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (2023) addressing data security, while the IT Act, 2000, covers cybersecurity but lacks AI-specific provisions. The National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence (NSAI) aims to promote innovation while tackling ethical concerns, with sector-specific regulations being developed.
To regulate AI effectively, India needs dedicated legislation focusing on liability, ethics, and accountability. Strengthening data protection laws and creating a regulatory body are essential for ensuring responsible and ethical AI development.
