Abstract

India’s new slogan “AI (artificial intelligence) for all” was revealed in the discussion paper of the National strategy for AI. This is the development in the aftermath of Justice Puttaswamy case’s judgement in August 2017.The judgement analysed in length and breadth the right to privacy and the data protection. The judgement established “right to privacy” as a fundamental right when Indian Government massively started collecting the data for “digital India”. It has come to the stage of balancing the collective rights and individual rights. This time India is heavily relying on the latest technological development like AI to reflect on social, legal and political institutions. India wants to fortify the institutions through technology, as it is a land of masses. It is impossible to handle ‘big data’ in the real sense without using complex latest technology. Collecting personal details massively and protecting them is a complicated process. This paper critically analyse India’s way of governing ‘Big data’ and its implication on vital institutions.
