Description: The clarion call for the regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) is growing louder across the world. Different jurisdictions have either introduced legislation to regulate the technology or are in the process of doing so. Aside from hard-coded laws, a bevy of voluntary standards have emerged around trust and safety concepts surrounding the deployment and development of AI. This paper presents a roundup of different approaches to AI regulation and governance, as well as the intersection of existing legal doctrines and AI. The purpose of this paper is to put forth considerations for Indian policymakers to take into account when deciding on AI governance down the road.
