TITLE : ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE LAW: UNDERSTANDING LEGAL ISSUES IN THE AGE OF AI
ABSTRACT: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed numerous sectors in India, enhancing both efficiency and innovation. However, the swift progress in AI technology has also introduced intricate legal and ethical dilemmas, particularly concerning liability and accountability. This abstract investigates the changing legal environment related to AI in India, emphasizing the emerging challenges and the existing regulatory framework. It starts by defining AI and its various forms, underscoring the necessity of tackling issues of liability and accountability. The discussion extends to the challenges of determining responsibility in instances of errors, accidents, or unethical conduct by AI systems, which involve a diverse group of stakeholders, including developers, manufacturers, users, and regulators. The abstract further examines specific challenges associated with AI, such as the proliferation of deepfakes and misinformation, biased algorithms, and the complexities of separating personal data from AI training datasets. It also critiques the inadequacies of current Indian legislation, including the Copyright Act and the IT Act, in regulating AI-generated content and curbing misuse. Additionally, the abstract highlights recent initiatives by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) aimed at fostering responsible AI development in India, including the establishment of the National Artificial Intelligence Resource Platform, the launch of the National AI Portal, and the issuance of guidelines for AI models. In summary, the abstract stresses the pressing need for a comprehensive legislative framework.
