Artificial Intelligence and Ethical Concerns in Contemporary Indian Society

Abstract There have been significant changes brought about by the arrival of computers and their use in a variety of fields, such as communication, education, healthcare, and entertainment. The economy of this era is marked by a swift transition from traditional industries to information technology-based economies. This stage is therefore referred to as the information or digital era. This era is characterised by the digital revolution in ICT and the internet, and by the globalisation of the knowledge economy. Cybersecurity, privacy, and big data and analytics are some of the issues in social media and online communities. This paper aims to investigate how different applications and computers have influenced and transferred different facets of Indian society. It has promoted teamwork and creativity in the classroom and organizations wherever it is applied. Artificial intelligence is closely related to the information era and biased algorithms with certain moral implications. Automation is maintained in large part by the technology employed in artificial intelligence. Processes are streamlined and large amounts of data may now be processed and analysed quickly thanks to automation. Data-driven decision making has become a reality in a various corporate settings, including governments and other institutions. This is because machine learning and data analytics algorithms have made it possible for businesses to extract important insights from massive data sets. AI is also the main force behind a number of technological developments that people have been able to see, including smart devices, driverless cars, and improved medical diagnostics. E-commerce is another area that has advanced as a result of AI intervention. The AI algorithms have evaluated the conduct of users on this site and has contributed positively to the e-business. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the capacity to further transform several industries. Despite all these advantages, AI is becoming more widely used, and there are privacy problems because of biased algorithms with serious ethical issues. Any technological innovations have both merits and demerits. AI is not an exception to this. There are many paradoxes in Indian society, which is pluralistic. In spite of the fact that there is a significant digital divide, the public has access to a vast amount of data due to recent efforts towards a digital revolution that have enabled e-governance. This raises concerns about data security and the potential for stalkers to misuse the information. Human rights violations do occur occasionally as well. In order to give people in Indian society a more moral, just, sustainable, successful future, and this proposed paper will aim to shed light on the necessity of developing more ethical and humane based applications.
