Description
In the 21st century, the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents governments with the dual challenge of fostering technological innovation while safeguarding the rights and freedoms of their citizens. This comparative analysis examines how India addresses data privacy, human rights and ethical concerns arising from AI deployment. The study begins by tracing the evolution of Indias legal and policy framework, from the Information Technology Act, 2000 to the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, assessing how these measures respond to emerging AI-related threats and their implications for individual privacy and civil liberties. Further, the paper evaluates Indias engagement with international standards and best practices. Lastly, the study examines ethical and human rights challenges posedby AIapplications, including algorithmic bias, automateddecisionmaking, surveillance and deepfakes with a focus on high-stakes sectors like law enforcement, and welfare delivery.
