Abstract

In this fast-changing digital era, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transitioned contemporary criminal justice systems through its migration into surveillance networks, predictive policy methods, and regulatory cybercrime enforcements. This technology ensures greater operational efficiency, real-time monitoring of threat detection and prevention analytics, and enhanced investigative capabilities. However, on the other hand, these rapid technology adoption raises complex legal, ethical, and human rights concerns that our regulatory frameworks fail to recognize. This research paper will examine the development of AI in criminal justice by focusing on predicating algorithms, risk assessment, AI driven cybersecurity tools, automated facial recognitions etc., my study will further evaluate how Indian legal governance framework such as Indian Constitution, IT Act[1], Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023[2], regulate or lack in governing the AI enabled law enforcement processes.

The paper further examines how international regulatory bodies approach AI, specifically UN OHCHR regulations on human rights-centered AI, the European Union AI Act, and International cybercrime governance standards, evaluating the best practices and identifying gaps that are relevant to India's perspective. Will further assess in detail ethical concerns in algorithm bias, privacy infringements, risk of over-criminalization, and discriminatory profiling. Additionally, the paper will also emphasize how AI- AI-generated evidence are automated investigations have reshaped the legal policy-making process, courtroom proceedings, and access to justice, which requires enhancing judges, lawyers, and investigators.
