Artificial intelligence systems are expanding rapidly, and responsible data regulation has become central to the governance debate. Artificial intelligence can support innovation only if data is handled ethically and securely, so that public trust is preserved.
Why the issue matters for UPSC
Artificial intelligence regulation sits at the intersection of technology policy, governance, and ethics. UPSC can ask how India should encourage digital innovation while protecting citizen rights, improving institutional accountability, and preventing misuse of personal data.
