Atty. Shipra Gupta Criminal Liability in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: A comparative study of Poland (EU) & India Criminal liability in the age of artificial intelligence raises complex legal challenges, as AI systems act autonomously without human intent or mens rea. Poland and the European Union adopt a preventive, regulatory-first approach through frameworks like the EU AI Act, while India relies on adapting existing laws such as the Penal Code and IT Act. Both systems grapple with assigning responsibility when AI causes harm, debating models like programmer liability, corporate accountability, strict liability, or even electronic personhood. The central challenge is balancing accountability with innovation while reimagining criminal law for an AI-driven future. |

This lecture examines whether these legislative instruments represent truly transformative mechanisms for sustainable development or whether they function as neocolonial instruments that impose disproportionate regulatory burdens on the Global South. |

Prof. Marcin M. Wiszowaty [CIELSP202] Constitutional Law: Influencing Decision-Making Process: Lobbying, Interest Groups The phenomenon of lobbying still raises concerns and negative connotations. It is wrongly associated with unclear relations between the world of politics and business, and is even treated as a synonym for corruption. In fact, lobbying has nothing to do with corruption. If it is subjected to proper legal regulation in accordance with the highest standards developed in the world, it is a valuable, useful and important enrichment of the decision-making process in the democratic state. It is a valuable addition to the political and geographical representation in the decision-making process with representation of interest groups and economic circles. Lobbying deprived of appropriate control and legal regulations, not only will not be the source of benefits for the state and society, but may even lead to pathological practices. The course deals with the origins and essence of lobbying, the highest standards of its legal regulation, the practice of lobbying, the issues of facade regulation and its effects, and finally - the examples of the pathologies of lobbying. |

Gaurav Kumar Yadav, LL.M. Comparative Study on AI regulation: EU AI Act vs. India’s Approach 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.” |
