Artificial Intelligence, the law and the future

The Hindu  

In February, the Kerala police inducted a robot for police work. Except for Isaac Asimov’s ‘three laws of robotics’ discussed in his short story, ‘Runaround’, published in 1942, only recently has there been interest across the world to develop a law on smart technologies. In India, NITI Aayog released a policy paper, ‘National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence’, in June 2018, which considered the importance of AI in different sectors. Also, given the importance of intention in India’s criminal law jurisprudence, it is essential to establish the legal personality of AI, and whether any sort of intention can be attributed to it. Since privacy is a fundamental right, certain rules to regulate the usage of data possessed by an AI entity should be framed as part of the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2018.
