ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, SOCIETY, AND LAW: A CONFLUENCE FOR THE FUTURE

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly pervasive in multiple spheres of society, from education and healthcare to law enforcement and commerce. This paper explores the relationship between AI, society, and legal frameworks, focusing on how AI can be leveraged while addressing its ethical implications and regulatory needs. Key areas of discussion include AI’s impact on job displacement, bias in AI systems, the ethical dilemmas posed by autonomous technologies, and the legal challenges AI presents in India and globally. The paper also examines AI's integration into educational platforms, its role in research acceleration, and emerging technologies like Natural Language Processing (NLP) and AI-powered robotics. The concluding section offers insights into data protection laws, global ethical frameworks, and the future of AI in a privacy-conscious world. As AI technologies continue to evolve, understanding their implications for society and law becomes increasingly urgent.
