Author(s): Dr. Geeta Kubsad

Abstract:

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents complex challenges that extend beyond mere technological considerations, particularly in areas such as law, ethics, and human behavior. In India, the increasing deployment of AI across various sectors raises essential questions about its effects on legal structures, societal values, and individual rights. This paper examines the intersections of AI with Cyber Law, philosophy, psychology, and legal frameworks within the Indian context. From a legal standpoint, the paper analyzes the emerging landscape of cyber laws and regulations aimed at managing AI technologies. Key areas such as data privacy, cybersecurity, intellectual property rights, and the accountability of AI systems are explored. This includes an assessment of India's existing legal framework and its responsiveness to the evolving AI landscape, identifying any gaps or areas that require further development. On the philosophical front, the paper delves into the ethical challenges presented by AI, with particular emphasis on concepts such as autonomy, morality, and the influence of AI in decision-making. It also draws from Indian philosophical traditions to reflect on how AI interacts with or challenges, established views on consciousness, ethics, and human agency. In terms of psychological impact, the paper explores how AI influences human cognition, behavior, and societal dynamics. It addresses the implications of AI on mental health, social interaction, and human-machine relationships, examining how AI’s growing presence may alter human perception and interpersonal connections in a progressively automated society. Ultimately, this interdisciplinary analysis aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of AI’s transformative effects within the framework of Indian Cyber Law. By considering the philosophical and psychological dimensions, the paper proposes a balanced approach to policy and legal reform in response to the rise of AI technologies in India, fostering a holistic approach to the challenges and opportunities AI presents.
