Knowledge Resources › AI and Data Protection
Last updated: 6 August 2026
As organisations adopt artificial intelligence, new legal questions arise — particularly where AI systems process personal data.
Some of the questions being considered
- Consent and purpose — whether personal data collected for one purpose may be used to train AI systems
- Transparency — how organisations explain automated decisions that affect individuals
- Accountability — who is responsible when an AI system causes harm
- Data minimisation — how the large data appetite of AI models sits alongside data protection principles
India's regulatory approach to AI is still developing. Organisations deploying AI can prepare by applying existing data protection principles carefully and monitoring how the legal landscape evolves.
