Artificial Intelligence (AI) Through a Legal Lens

The team at Ivy Law participated in a webinar on “AI Through a Legal Lens” organized by the Punjab Legal Rights Consortium. The webinar focussed on the importance of AI and how nearly 80% of the population owns a smartphone, making it nearly impossible for the majority of citizens to escape AI. It further laid stress on AI playing a crucial role in various aspects of life, from assisting with shopping to aiding in surgery, and the fact that even the Supreme Court of India is employing AI through SUPACE and SUVAS, indicating the diverse and essential applications of AI in society. Therefore, the need for proper legislation to regulate the functions and usage of AI tools, including their access to public data and the significant threats AI might pose if used without boundaries and legal consequences were also discussed at length.
