AI and Law Must Evolve Together to Protect Citizens: NCW Chairperson
Imagine computers are getting very smart with AI.
This smartness is starting to be used in important places like courts.
It can also be used to create fake videos, like deepfakes, that trick people, and to bully others online.
So, law students need to learn about AI to understand these new problems.
A special workshop was held to teach them how AI affects law and how to be safe online.
The goal is to make sure that as AI gets smarter, our laws also get smarter to keep everyone safe and protected in this digital world.
It's about making sure technology helps us and doesn't hurt us, especially for young people and women who will lead the way in the future.
National Commission for Women (NCW) Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar stated that AI and law must evolve together to protect citizens.
A workshop at Himachal Pradesh National Law University in Shimla focused on AI and its impact on legal systems and cyber safety.
Rahatkar emphasized that understanding AI is essential for law students due to its use in courts, deepfakes, and online harassment.
