Artificial Intelligence Regulation in India: An Urgent Need

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the most deliberated topic across the world in today’s time. It is reshaping the educational, socio -economic and more specifically, the legal recourse. Indeed, it has reached and impacted our daily lives with not only enormous advantages but also several big and small disadvantages. Its role in the rapid technological advancement and innovation cannot be denied and it has a countless potential to make India a Viksit Bharat. However, even though AI has innumerable uses and advantages, the undesirable use of AI is a deep concern nowadays which requires an appropriate legal framework. It is high time to decide the liabilities and appropriate remedies for the misuse of AI. The existing laws and policies in India are not appropriate to maintain transparency and accountability due to biases and privacy concerns. Therefore, there is a vast gap between AI related misuse and legal measures in India. Hence, India needs to urgently enact appropriate laws to bridge the gap between damages caused by AI and legal remedies for the same. The basic aim and objectives of this research paper is to analyse the existing laws - how far do they address the misuse of AI and identify the specific gaps where laws are immediately required. Furthermore, the researcher will examine the legal framework of the European Union and the USA with respect to AI. After exploring the laws and the role of the judiciary in the aforementioned countries, the researcher would like to suggest measures for adoption of laws in India.
