Regulation and governance of artificial intelligence in India
Abstract
The Indian government believes that artificial intelligence (AI) will play an important role in India’s continued economic growth, both through its contribution to productivity in the private sector and through smarter and more data-led government. This article explains the main legal frameworks that currently regulate AI in India, as well as proposals for future legislation. It also lays out several concerns regarding the government’s approach to regulating AI. Importantly, there are concerns regarding the potential of AI to further increase economic inequality and to undermine the right to privacy.
