Data Privacy and AI




 Data Privacy and AI



When it comes to problem-solving, AI is described as systems that are adaptable like people.  AI is seen as a computer-based technology that can easily, accurately, and cheaply address a variety of issues in a variety of contexts without the need for human intervention. Most AI applications require a significant amount of data, including personal data. With the expanding use of AI in various sectors, it is expected to face a variety of ethical and legal quandaries while seeking an effective balance between social advances including the use of AI and fundamental rights to data privacy protection.


Current Law:  

A number of concerns around data privacy and AI have been raised in India, and efforts have been made to address these worries through legislation. The Personal Data Protection Bill (PDPB), which was introduced in 2019 but has not yet become law, is India's main data protection law. It's important to note that the information shown here reflects the September 2021 knowledge threshold because the PDPB is currently undergoing modifications.


Problems with data privacy and AI in India, as well as the associated challenges:

  1. Lack of a comprehensive data protection framework: Prior to the PDPB, India's data protection legislation was restricted. This raised worries about the gathering, use, and exploitation of personal data, particularly by businesses and government organizations that use AI technologies.


  1. Data localization requirements: The PDPB suggested data localization regulations, requiring personal data to be stored and processed in India. While this provision is intended to improve data security, it may put additional regulatory obligations on businesses, particularly multinational corporations, as well as impede cross-border data flows.


  1. Issues concerning surveillance: The employment of AI in surveillance and monitoring systems creates privacy problems. Aadhaar (a biometric identity system) and facial recognition systems have prompted issues about the potential exploitation of personal data and infringement of privacy rights.


  1. Personal data- consent and control: The PDPB emphasizes gaining informed consent from individuals for data processing. However, obtaining meaningful consent and giving consumers control over their data can be difficult, especially when dealing with complicated AI systems that require massive volumes of data for training.


  1. Accountability and enforcement: Effective implementation and enforcement of data protection legislation are critical. This entails having an independent regulatory authority as well as strong measures to hold organizations accountable for data breaches and regulatory violations.


The following actions can be performed to address these issues and improve data privacy and governance for artificial intelligence in India:


  1. Strong data protection laws: The PDPB should become a law and be updated as needed to create a balance between privacy and innovation. Concerns about data localization, surveillance, consent, and the establishment of effective enforcement mechanisms should be addressed.


  1. Improving regulatory bodies: It is critical to establish an independent data protection authority with sufficient powers and resources to oversee and implement data protection legislation. The ability to conduct investigations and impose sanctions on non-compliant organisations should be granted to this body.


  1. Knowledge and education: It is essential to spread knowledge about the rights to data privacy and the ethical use of AI technologies. Campaigns for public education can inform people about their rights and persuade businesses to adopt privacy-focused procedures.


  1. AI ethical standards: By creating and promoting AI ethical standards, we can guarantee that the technology is applied responsibly and objectively. Incorporating privacy-by-design principles, reducing algorithmic biases, and fostering openness are some of these measures.


  1. International partnerships: Taking part in international partnerships and exchanging best practices will help India learn from the experiences of other nations and promote international cooperation on data privacy and AI governance.

 HYDROGEN CARS: THE GENZ’S VARIATION      Is there a future in hydrogen cars? This has been the main contention among the new age individuals as a recent announcement has been made by the Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India, Mr. Nitin Gadkari has stated that India would be moving towards use of hydrogen engine vehicles by 2030 which also means that the use of petroleum for running vehicles would also be limited and reduced. The need of the electric vehicles as a substitute against the already running petroleum vehicles but due to the high cost and price of the electric vehicles which led to electric vehicles becoming unaffordable for the middle class population of India which was not serving the purpose for which electric vehicles were introduced. DRAWBACKS OF OTHER VARIANTS OF VEHICLES:  The other variants of vehicles have been in existence in the market for a long time such as petroleum and CNG variants, however due to their high prices and harmfu...

MARITAL RAPE IN INDIA: AN EXCEPTION Marital Rape in India has been one of the main contentous and debatable topics clogging around the legal system in India attracting eyes and opinions of various legal judicials. Marital rape gained influence as soon as it attracted the golden articles of the Constitution and questioned the institution of marriage as it is considered to be a sacred and a religious act in India and proposing charges on account of sexual obligations in marriage would definitely breach trust of both parties to marriage and would also lead to improper use by the parties thereby influencing justice and violating principles of law.
