ABSTRACT
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving in many sectors including the judiciary and law enforcement in India. AI is now a powerful tool in crime investigation helping the police and forensic experts solve digital crimes faster and more accurately. Methods like machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing allow investigators to process huge amounts of data quickly, which was nearly impossible using traditional manual techniques. The paper highlights successful AI applications in India’s law enforcement, such as facial recognition for identifying suspects and AI tools that speed up analyzing crime data. It compares India’s situation with the European Union AI Act, a law that classifies AI by risk levels and sets out duties for AI providers to ensure liability and accountability. However, India’s current legal framework, primarily governed by the Information Technology Act, 2000, lacks explicit provisions for AI’s legal status, liability, and ethical deployment. This legal gap raises concerns about misuse, liability and accountability. To fix this, the paper recommends India adopts a risk-based, transparent regulatory framework, inspired by global standards like the EU AI Act. Such a framework should clearly define who is responsible for harm, require human oversight, and protect people’s rights. This will help India benefit from AI innovation in cyber forensics while ensuring safety, justice, and trust for all citizens. The paper concludes that developing a robust legal framework for AI is necessary to ensure ethical deployment, liability, accountability and advancing India’s leadership in AI governance globally.
