Will there be any law to regulate the use of AI ?

Artificial intelligence, the creation of computer systems that can learn and make decisions without the need for human intelligence, has the potential to revolutionize and foster innovation in business and government. AI has been improving for a while. It just didn’t have a user interface that most people could utilise.
 
 
Applying AI chatbots to lifestyle modification programs is one of the promising areas to develop cost-effective and feasible behaviour interventions to promote physical activity and a healthy diet. For instance, businesses are creating AI to help people manage their houses and let the elderly live in their homes for longer. AI is applied in many aspects of modern life, including self-driving cars, digital assistants, and healthcare technology.

 
There are no particular data protection rules in India, Sections 43A and 72A of the Information Technology Act protect personal data. Similar to GDPR, it provides a right to compensation for unauthorized disclosure of personal information.

 
Now, the emergence of ChatGPT threatens to upend the employment market with more complex, human-like writing, so the remarks have greater weight. Experts have cautioned about the dangers of unchecked AI development. Artificial intelligence is “much more deadly” than the so-called Dark Web usage.

 
Even though AI is enhancing healthcare, connecting people in new ways, and drastically increasing productivity, when applied incorrectly or irresponsibly, AI might result in employment losses, prejudiced or racist outcomes, etc.

 
AI chatbots have become increasingly integrated into various digital communications. Many national governments have already established artificial intelligence laws and regulations about how data should and shouldn’t be used and gathered, albeit they are occasionally ambiguous. When discussing AI regulation and how it should be implemented, governments frequently collaborate with significant corporations.

 
Unlike vehicles, aeroplanes, and pharmaceuticals which must adhere to regulatory safety standards, AI does not currently have any laws or regulations in place to restrict its growth. If not regulated, there will be more potential risk to civilization than cars, aircraft, or medicine.

 
It seems there will be another technology to evolve very fast with regulations in place to save the technology in the wrong hands.
