Abstract

This article explores the balance between AI innovation and privacy protection in the digital era, focusing on India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023. The Act represents a significant effort to regulate how personal data is collected, stored, and used, ensuring that individual rights are safeguarded. However, as AI technologies continue to evolve, new challenges emerge that the current framework does not fully address. This article reviews the key provisions of the DPDP Act, examines its practical implications for data fiduciaries and individuals, and highlights areas where further reforms are needed. The article provides clear recommendations for improving the legal framework so that it both promotes progress and protects fundamental privacy rights.
