Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Cyber Crimes: Challenges for the Indian Legal Framework

Author(s) Mr. Aman Kumar, Dr. Shova Devi
Country India
Abstract The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed the digital ecosystem, offering significant benefits in areas such as automation, data analytics, and digital governance. However, the misuse of artificial intelligence technologies has also given rise to a new generation of cybercrimes. AI-driven cyber offences such as deepfake manipulation, automated phishing, biometric spoofing, and identity theft have become increasingly prevalent across the world. These emerging threats raise serious concerns regarding privacy, digital security, and the adequacy of existing legal frameworks.
India has developed a regulatory framework for cybercrime through legislation such as the Information Technology Act, 2000 and various provisions of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. However, these laws were enacted during a period when artificial intelligence technologies were still in their early stages of development. As a result, several AI-enabled cyber offences fall within legal grey areas where existing statutory provisions may not adequately address the complexity of these crimes.
This article critically examines the challenges posed by AI-driven cybercrime in India, with particular focus on deepfake technology and identity theft. It analyses the effectiveness of the current legal framework, evaluates relevant judicial decisions, and compares India’s regulatory approach with legal developments in jurisdictions such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. The article concludes by suggesting legal and policy reforms that may strengthen India’s ability to combat emerging cyber threats in the age of artificial intelligence.
Keywords Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Crime, Deepfake Technology, Identity Theft, Cyber Law, Digital Evidence, Information Technology Act.
