On AI, Elections, Media & Democracy for South Asian University
From Abhivardhan, our Chairperson
Hmm, #August has begun, but #July ain't ending - which is great.
I was graciously invited by the coveted South Asian University New Delhi, to deliver a session lecture as a part of their well-conducted Short Term Course on Artificial Intelligence and Law. I am grateful for the kind invite by Dr Nafees Ahmad, and team.
It was my honour to speak and discuss about the role of #artificialintelligence technologies in causing manipulation and trust deficit across government institutions, from election bodies, to the judiciary.
I am glad that quite a few judges, judicial officers of Odisha HC, advocates, and scholars found my insights helpful. The session was intriguing in its own way for being discussion-centric, as I tried my best to keep the larger paradigm of the subject-matter of discussion, conveyed in a socratic way.
Now, the impact of deepfakes and synthetic content (AI-generated) has been not that mainstream as one may expect (cc Sagar Vishnoi 🚀 Divyendra Singh Jadoun), but keeping incident response protocols, is an absolute must for both general purpose and specific purpose AI tools.
Access policies are also a must for AI builders. People should know the terms and by-laws. At the same time, I believe that the use of AI in public-private partnerships must be subject to Indian RTI framework.
People should have the right to access information to request proactive disclosure of information related to AI systems, including their purpose, data sources, and decision-making logic in the case of government, public sector, and public-private partnerships to a reasonable extent. Had some chat about it long ago with my friend, Satvik Pendyala as well.

AI Patentability is Messy: Check out the AI and Intellectual Property Training Programme
In the times when using third party #artificialintelligence LLMs is becoming a fad, it is natural to ask some basic questions around what copyright or patent law frameworks may be applied, and in what way.
