DECODING PROGRESS: AI IN INDIAN ADMINISTRATION: NAVIGATINGTRANSFORMATION AND ETHICAL HORIZONS

Abstract

This paper looks into the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on administrative decision-making in India. The research, which arose from my personal and academic encounters with AI, addresses concerns about its effects on critical thinking while also acknowledging its potential for organising research. The paper highlights enhanced diagnostic and predictive capabilities enabled by AI by analysing shifts in administrative processes across sectors. The article attempts to investigate legal professionals' cautious optimism and the pressing need for AI to alleviate administrative burdens, with a focus on the Indian judiciary's evolving stance on technology adoption. The primary goals of the paper include identifying the challenges and benefits of AI implementation, emphasising the importance of a regulatory framework to balance technological progress with ethical and legal considerations, and ensuring transparency, accountability, and equality in governance. Finally, the paper advocates for a comprehensive strategy that fosters AI innovation while upholding ethical principles, with the goal of improving administrative efficiency and fairness.

Keywords: artificial intelligence, administrative decision-making, Indian context, regulatory framework.
