ABSTRACT

AI has revolutionized various sectors, including communication, governance, healthcare, and education. But the excessive reliance on personal data has become a serious concern in terms of privacy, surveillance, and human rights violations. The AI-driven technologies of facial recognition and predictive analytics have been risky in intrusive surveillance, discrimination, and lack of accountability because of opaque decision-making processes. This paper explores how AI affects the data privacy responsibility of stakeholders-whether governments, businesses, or individuals-and related legal frameworks designed to address these issues. To do this, it looks into international regulations and policies, from the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union to the California Consumer Privacy Act of the United States, up to India through the Digital Personal Data Protection Act and landmark cases. This paper suggests the need for a balanced approach between innovation and safeguarding basic human rights through advocating for ethical AI practices, transparency, and stronger regulatory measures
