AI & Emerging Technology Law
India has no single AI statute, which does not mean AI is unregulated. Data protection, intellectual property, consumer, contract and IT laws all apply to your models and the people who use them. We help you move fast on AI without walking into avoidable liability.
AI product companies
Terms of use, model and data licences, IP ownership, customer contracts and regulatory positioning.
Enterprises adopting AI
Acceptable-use policies, vendor due diligence, confidentiality and employee guidance.
Media and content businesses
Deepfakes, synthetic media, licensing of content and takedown strategy.
Regulated sectors
AI use within sector rules on fairness, explainability, outsourcing and data.
Roadmap
Your AI legal roadmap, step by step.
Responsible AI adoption follows a sequence. This is the order that reduces risk fastest without slowing your product down.
- 01Inventory
Know what you are using
Most organisations use more AI than they realise, including tools employees adopted themselves.
- Inventory of AI tools, models and use cases
- Classify use cases by risk and data sensitivity
- Identify which laws and sector rules apply
- Privileged gap assessment
- 02Governance
Set the rules
Clear rules let teams use AI quickly, without asking for permission each time.
- AI acceptable-use and governance policy
- Approval and review process for new AI use cases
- Roles and accountability, including human oversight
- Staff guidance on confidential and personal data
- 03Vendors and customers
Contract for the risk
AI terms shift risk in unusual ways, especially around data, IP and output.
- LLM and AI vendor terms: data use, training, security and indemnities
- Customer-facing terms for AI features
- Licences for datasets, models and content
- Allocation of responsibility for output errors
- 04Product and compliance
Launch responsibly
Products that touch personal data, content or regulated decisions need careful launch.
- Privacy notices and consent for AI data use under the DPDP Act
- IP ownership and copyright position on output
- Disclosures, labelling and transparency
- EU AI Act analysis for products offered in Europe
- 05Ongoing
Monitor and respond
Models drift, laws change and incidents happen.
- Regulatory tracking and policy updates
- AI incident response: leakage, misuse and harmful output
- Disputes, takedowns and claims
- Periodic audits and staff training

Where we come in
Five AI risks we see most often.
None needs a new law to be a problem. Existing law already covers each of them.
Confidential data pasted into public AI tools
Staff paste client data, source code or contracts into consumer AI tools. That can breach confidentiality duties and data protection obligations in one step.
Vendor terms nobody read
Some AI vendors reserve rights to use your inputs for training, offer no IP indemnity and cap liability sharply. These terms are negotiable, but only if someone reads them.
Assuming you own the output
Ownership of AI-generated content is unsettled in India. Without a contract that allocates rights, you may not have the exclusive rights you assume.
No AI policy at all
Without rules, employees create shadow AI use. An AI policy gives people clear boundaries and gives you evidence of reasonable care.
Treating AI output as reliable
Wrong, biased or fabricated output that reaches customers is still your responsibility. Human review and clear disclaimers matter, and neither is optional.

We would rather you read independent reviews than take our word for it. Every review is on our Google Business Profile.
Questions
Common questions.
General information only, not legal advice. Every situation differs, so speak to us about yours.
Is there an AI law in India?
There is no single AI-specific statute at present. Existing laws apply, including the IT Act and its rules, the DPDP Act 2023, intellectual property and consumer protection laws. The Government has also issued advisories and guidelines, and rules on areas such as deepfakes are evolving.
We track developments and confirm what applies to your use case.
Who owns content generated by AI?
This is unsettled. Indian copyright law is built around human authorship, and how it applies to AI output is still being worked out.
Because the law is unclear, contracts should state who owns outputs and what rights each party has.
Can we use customer data to train our models?
Only where you have a lawful basis and permission. Under the DPDP Act, personal data generally needs valid consent or another permitted ground, and your contracts with customers may restrict use as well.
We review data sources and terms before training begins.
Does the EU AI Act apply to us?
It can. The EU AI Act applies to providers and deployers outside the EU where their AI systems are placed on the EU market or their output is used in the EU. Obligations depend on the risk category and phase in over time.
We can classify your systems and explain the timeline.
Are we liable if our AI gives a wrong answer?
Often yes. Responsibility depends on who deployed the system, what was promised and how the output was used. Disclaimers help but do not remove liability for foreseeable harm.
Contracts, human review and testing all reduce the risk.
Do we really need an AI policy?
If anyone in your organisation uses AI tools, yes. A short, clear policy protects confidential data, sets boundaries for staff and shows you took reasonable care.
We can draft one that fits your business in days, not months.
How much does this cost?
AI policies and contract reviews are available at fixed fees. Broader programmes are scoped after a first conversation, and ongoing support can be covered by a SIRI Shield retainer.
In every case, fees are agreed in writing before work starts.
