Brief description of the lecture:
The rapid growth of AI has given rise to debate on the optimal regulatory approach. The growth of AI systems is raising concerns about “privacy infringement, data breaches, and unauthorized access to sensitive information”. To tackle these problems, the European Union (EU) has passed the Artificial Intelligence Act. The EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) is the world’s first detailed legislative endeavor on AI, bestowing a compulsory framework based on risk assortment, clearly defined responsibilities for users and suppliers, and procedure for market surveillance and conformance evaluation. India’s AI laws are not unique; rather, they are relying on the “Information Technology Act 2000,” which creates data protection rules and policy-driven programs such as “NITI Aayog's #AIForAll.” Based on a review of legal and policy documents, the lecture identifies various key differences in terms of risk assortment, responsibility measures, institutional governance, and protection of rights system. The findings propound that the EU follows a clear, rights-based model, while India’s outlooks remain shatter and evolving, characterized by strong policy rhetoric but no binding safeguards. The study concludes that India can learn from the EU’s integration of formal risk-based duty and algorithmic accountability system, while keeping flexibility in responsive governance considerations.
