It is predicted there that for students of law coming out today, the real challenge and the real opportunity is that you are moving into an era where the jurisprudence around technology is almost going to be written ab initio, said Former Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar while addressing the INET-YSI-Bennett University conference on Saturday.
Stressing the new framework, Rajeev Chandrasekhar said, "What we know of the past, what we know about the legal playbook in the past is going to be completely obsolete. And almost from the ground up, there is going to be new jurisprudence and a new framework of laws, rights and issues that will need to be adjudicated in the future."
Further speaking about AI and its potential usage, he said, "And in a lot of ways, that point, if you extend and expand forward to AI, holds true for artificial intelligence, for harm, for its applications, for privacy, for who owns what on the internet, monetization of personal, non-personal data and there is a whole school, a whole area of jurisprudence that will be explored and written in the coming years."
He further stated, "We are living in the AI age. There is no doubt that we are in the middle of a technology and innovation revolution that is something that has never been seen before."
Praising the Modi government, Rajeev Chandrasekhar remarked, "In the last ten years, India and for most of you who have lived and experienced India, there has been a deep tectonic transformation in India. So we know bridges have been built, roads have been built, infrastructure have been created, our economy has been modernized, the government's own budget has tripled and quadrupled, we are the fastest growing economy in the world, we have the fastest growing digital economy in the world, our innovation economy is going to be almost a one-fourth of our GDP."
