Abstract

The recent development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has changed th e surveillance systems around the world. AI-based tools of surveillance such as facial recognition systems are used by the government and the private sector to target individuals and predict their crimes. Though these innovations are beneficial in terms of security, efficiency and governance, they also create major issues concerning the violation of the right to privacy. This paper critically discusses how AI-powered surveillance can be used to strip individuals of their privacy rights, especially the Indian setting, and judge the suitability of existing laws. It also discusses why regulatory protection is necessary to bring about a balance between technological advancements and constitutional liberties.
