From Data to Dignity: Ethical and Human Rights Challenges in India’s AI Framework

Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly growing in sectors such as governance, the economy, and in our day-to-day life. It has quick response systems, unique innovations, and it creates a pool of opportunities, yet there are some serious concerns related with to the user’s privacy and human-rights. The automated decision-making, data collection at large level, and AI-driven surveillance mechanism can create an issue, which lead to the discrimination and bias, and
threaten the dignity of the individual. In K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India, The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, recognised the Right to Privacy as an integral part of Fundamental Rights under Article 21, which provides a safeguard to ensure that AI does not violate individual’s privacy. This paper aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the current statutes in India, specifically Digital Personal Data Protection Act, with the statutes in UK, US and International Regulations. Based on Legal and Policy evaluation of case studies, it shows consistent gaps such as weak governance, bias, and lack of public awareness. This paper
concludes by proposing targeted reforms, capacity-building measures, and better alignment, in accordance with best global practices to ensure that India’s AI governance framework becomes more reliable and robust, rights protective, and responsive to contemporary challenges.
Keywords Artificial Intelligence, Bias, Ethics, Fundamental Rights, Governance, Human Rights, International, Privacy.
