Artificial Intelligence Laws and Regulations at The Consult Law
India doesn't yet have a standalone AI law, which puts most companies deploying AI in a gray zone - bound by existing data protection, consumer protection, and sectoral rules that were never written with machine learning in mind. We were one of the first firms in India to build a dedicated AI regulatory practice for exactly that reason.
The open questions are real ones: who's liable when a model gets something wrong, what counts as bias under Indian law, how much disclosure a company owes users interacting with an AI system. We help clients make defensible calls on these questions now, ahead of the regulation that's clearly coming.
Our AI Regulatory Practice Covers
Regulatory Compliance
Advising on the national and international AI rules that apply, including frameworks like the EU AI Act.
AI Risk Assessments
Evaluating a system for bias, discrimination, and where it stands legally.
Ethical AI Guidelines
Advising on governance frameworks for how AI actually gets deployed, not just how it's described in a policy.
Contractual Agreements
Drafting the licensing, development, and partnership agreements an AI product needs.
Litigation and Disputes
Representing clients in AI-related disputes and liability claims.
Data Protection and Privacy
Compliance with GDPR and Indian data law wherever the system touches personal data.
Deploying AI without legal review isn't reckless the way ignoring a data breach is - but it's the same kind of risk on a longer fuse. We'd rather have that conversation with you before a regulator or a customer forces it.
