AI-Driven research in India: Potential, risks, and policy framework
Authors
Anthony Savio Herminio da Piedade Fernandes
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping India’s research and
innovation ecosystem. With expanding digital infrastructure, young workforce,
and vast datasets, India is witnessing accelerated AI adoption across
healthcare, agriculture, governance, climate studies, finance, and education.
Government initiatives such as the National Strategy for Artificial
Intelligence, the National AI Portal, the Responsible AI for Youth program, and
Digital India have positioned the country as a rising AI hub. However,
challenges—including algorithmic bias, inadequate regulation, privacy concerns,
infrastructural gaps, and ethical risks—threaten responsible AI development.
Using a qualitative exploratory method based on secondary literature, policy
documents, and case studies, this paper analyses the potential, risks, and
governance gaps of AI-driven research in India. The study finds that while AI
offers major socio-economic benefits, unregulated deployment can intensify
inequality, weaken data protection, and reduce public trust. The paper
concludes with policy recommendations for ethical governance, transparency
standards, national legislation, capacity building, and inclusive research
ecosystems.
