ABSTRACT
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the most revolutionary forces changing governance, legal frameworks, and societal structures in the twenty-first century. Though its ability to improve administrative effectiveness, predictive administration, and legal judgment is vast, it also poses major ethical, legal, and constitutional challenges. This article embarks on an interdisciplinary analysis of the governance of AI by seeking to bridge the law, technology, and society viewpoints. It delves into the legal responsibility of AI decision-making, accountability in healthcare and administrative settings, data privacy and protection issues, algorithmic prejudice, and the balance between regulatory and innovation. Through close examination of statutes like the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and foreign instruments like the GDPR, the paper analyses how rules of law seek to balance technological upsets with constitutional rights. Indian and comparative case laws explain the shifting judicial response to AI accountability and fairness in algorithms. Also, the research questions whether the prevailing doctrines such as tort liability, constitutional protection, and human rights norms are sufficient or new regulatory models are needed. Through doctrinal and ethical research, the research reflects on the urgent need for a strong, transparent, and participatory governance regime for AI in India and the world.
