Abstract
Have you ever wondered that the core activities of homo sapiens (humans, of course), such as washing, clothing, entertainment, food delivery, medicine, etc., are being rapidly done by some kind of software and hardware which feels like it is integrated with a human mind? That’s where the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes into the picture. We are all, in some or the other way, aware of this term, right? In other words, AI is expected to be "essential to everything." Indeed, it is impossible to imagine a situation in which AI cannot enhance, accelerate, or otherwise assist in change. However, after all, these are merely machines that are human-made and human-run. They do not possess any ethics or morality. Apparently, this could sometimes lead to disastrous effects such as breach of privacy, threat to human rights, lawlessness, lack of equity and justice, etc., that no one could have imagined. This requires comprehensive legislation on AI and effective implementation of the same. In this paper, I shall be discussing what is AI, the need for AI, global measures for AI, India’s stand on AI, legal and ethical issues of AI and various other important aspects.
