Good Governance and The Role of Artificial Intelligence in India: Scope, Limitations, And Remedy

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming governance worldwide, offering unprecedented opportunities for efficiency, transparency, and inclusiveness. In India, AI is increasingly integrated into public service delivery, policing, judicial processes, urban management, and welfare schemes. However, the rapid deployment of AI also raises constitutional, ethical, and legal challenges, particularly concerning privacy, non-discrimination, accountability, and transparency. This paper examines the evolution of AI in Indian governance, constitutional safeguards, international norms, comparative law, judicial interpretations, and regulatory remedies. The study concludes with recommendations for a comprehensive AI governance framework aligned with India’s constitutional values and global best practices.
