Artificial Intelligence and Constitutional Rights in India: Speech, Equality, And Privacy
Abstract: In democratic nations, the rise of artificial intelligence presents both revolutionary possibilities and constitutional difficulties. This study examines how AI and Indian constitutional concepts relate to the country's three core rights freedom of speech, equality, and privacy in the age of digital technologies. The research opens with an overview of AI's quick integration into the business, society, and governance, highlighting both its potential to increase efficiency and the hazards associated with algorithmic control, surveillance, and disinformation. By charting the historical development of the fundamental rights protected by the trinity of equality, freedom, and life and liberty and how judicial interpretation has protected them from technological overreach, it establishes the constitutional underpinning. Examines how the right to free speech is affected by artificial intelligence (AI), including online censorship, moderation, and the chilling effects of automated control emphasises equality, emphasising how algorithmic bias and opaque decision-making can exacerbate discrimination and violate the fairness principles of the constitution. It explores the conflict between information privacy and AI-driven monitoring, especially in light of the Supreme Court's ruling in Justice K.S. Puttaswamy that privacy is a fundamental human right. v. In order to identify significant holes in AI governance, UOI examines the current regulatory framework, which includes the Digital Data Protection Act, the Information Technology Act, and the IT Rules. The paper concludes that artificial intelligence is a constitutional issue as well as a technological one, and that India's constitutional values of liberty, equality, and dignity must serve as the foundation for its government.
