AI future needs responsible data regulation
The Indian Express argues that artificial intelligence governance must place data privacy, consent, transparency, and accountability at the center of regulation.
- Responsible data regulation is necessary for artificial intelligence systems because ethical and secure data handling supports public trust and innovation.
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
UPSC may frame artificial intelligence as a balance between innovation and regulation, with data protection, consent, transparency, and accountability as core governance principles. The issue also fits ethics questions on responsible use of technology and protection of citizen rights.
