A cognizant question, that every day we are dealing in is – What kind of world
we want to live in? not only asking but also, we are
responsible to answer it. The idea of Data is presently a concoction of power and currency in along
with knowledge as the material coherence is our aspirations. “…law has to mandatorily
keep up with the changes happening in terms of
technology..” -Dr. Menaka
Guruswamy, which primarily hints towards the provider and controller of the administer adjacency
which includes big global giants (enterprises) including Alphabet Inc., Meta platforms, Inc. etc., who are further
being addressed as “private bureaucrats” by Prof. Balkans.
Law vests the power to regulate these invaluable,
ambiguous and humongous resources, in an entirety
with the executives more in a practical scenario as the makers of every term
and condition that any application comes into play daily at a global level.
On one hand out of the bunch of dormant information or
data that is sitting in the cloud, being the
constantly changing superfluous asset, with an exponential rise in complexities
and lesser insight of effective
usage by industry personnels that result in mayhem.
According to lead executives of Accenture (MNC), Cloud First Technology Pvt. Ltd., Trustpilot & StreetEasy – the
whole idea to bridge a silo’ inside
an organisation is all about creating window
of data transparency which is the underlying fuel that makes run the entire organisation to an entire lifecycle view of product and its usage, that
gives a clear and detailed view that benefits business,
customer and general
public.
“…we lose the freedom to be human” – Tim cook, as he rightly stated being apprehensive about our fundamental freedom of speech and
expressions, which is at stake, alongside raising turmoil of exclusive copyright, for which global software
developers are concerned about its checks and balances.

Introduction
What would happen if Socrates had been alive in the era
of artificial intelligence? – Had he remained the wisest or the large language model collectively AI (Artificial intelligence)?
It is said that Socrates, even being the wisest, always
claimed to lack both knowledge and wisdom.
How is it possible? It is believed that on one of his investigations he
revealed, those who claim
of having knowledge, either do not know really
what they purport
to know or might know way lesser than their proclamation. This proves the fact that because Socrates
was aware of his limitation of knowledge, neither
thought or claimed to know more than he actually does made him the wisest man of all[1].
That computer is a dumb machine and it only works on
provided elements. It makes guesses or
if procrastinate, based on the catered statistical guesses with whole
confidence. Out of the abundance of
data that is available and the potential capacity of AI to grasp it and store
is an understanding of parroting and
not mere true understanding and utilising in an ethical way. Hence, AI should enhance our abilities and
not contribute towards diminishing it, as per
platonic view a true
learning happens within an individual, as its “human-centric”.[2]
Now to understand this conception of hype and truth we
have to delve a little into the technicalities of computer to get away with a notion of whether
at all it is dumb or smart.
II.
The Creed
on accessibility of information vis-à-vis
digital knowledge infrastructures
We seldom are able to choose our world to live in. The entire plethora of combination of power and currency in association with
knowledge is a medium to satisfy our material well-being. The hype and the reality with AI should be
disbursed and ultimately the final outcome of any impact being catered by it, is in terms of money earned
via channelling the Data in the form of images, chatbots, descriptions, etc.,
that are injected in the large language models that further serves the final purpose.
If we delve into deep psychological knowledge, we have
our sub-conscious mind that have recreated the image of our organs in its own and thus, have a power to heal that imaginary recreated body from ailment[3].
This sub-conscious intelligence is the maker which could be compared
with the scientists or engineers making
this world of artificial intelligence that is the confident
recreator of the information’s available via the digital infrastructures which
are required to be referred in need
by humans, who are accepting those as true. Whereas, in cases of ailment or any wrong information
provided, it rarely applies ethics and mostly comes out with an answer that may not be correct but, with the same level
of confidence as before; there lies our carefulness.
II.i Ground plan on Artificial intelligence
In a roadmap[4] to
AI, where people are concerned, if AI can take away their jobs like they had already in comparison to the world before
2000’s, or the whole chaos around legal rights
especially copyrighted works, i.e, which one are the original and who is
the owner of those works, etc. are a
matter yet to be dealt with. According to researchers, we are going to see a better version of these generative models (AI) in the future along with more real information’s, as the output.
Thus, the smarter a machine has become that can think,
learn and communicate at the same time is actually the generative form of AI, which
is limited by what has been feed inside it by some other intelligent
human. We have always been under the influence of traditional AI conception, for example approval of an ATM
card in the ATM machine that makes it able to
withdraw the money, but the improved version of AI that also includes in it
the capabilities of old methods are the new and improved AI with its
indicative terminology, Generative (for example:
ChatGPT) and these are the large language Models that helps in interaction of
the computers with humans. The Large
Language models work like an artificial neural network, similarly like our brain[5].
Input
Hidden Output
Fig I: Node Layers (Neural
Network)
Like a lawman with a finite knowledge, if we try to
understand the function of computers, we may
consider it like a human brain having neural. Just like, if we look into Neural
network which reflects human brains
behaviour, it allows computer program to concede a particular pattern
and answer common problems in field
of AI/machine learning. Data sets are passed in these Node layers
and they depend on training
data.
We have learnt in school’, the mathematical model of
linear regression, that is used to predict
future scenario’s; now, if we think these nodes or this artificial
neural network (ANN), as its self
Linear regression model, then the weight of the connection which is between the
nodes, determines the amount of hold
each input has on the very output. Now, the data is transferred from one layer in the neural network
to the other and is cater forward network[6].
One premediated single node in the neural network
decide, should we go surfing, and the decision to move on or not with it, is exactly
our forecasted outcome.
So, if we try to look into the function, we have a
platform or interface API (Application programming interface)[7] which can work independently. To break it down, it is a software with specific
a function where within an interface or contractual means and staying abide by
the terms of it, two software’s talk to each other in terms of requests and responses, thus, communicating on
its own. It is mostly used by developers and many a times by direct users and then we have the people with
statistical or mathematical information’s, who indulge into these base models (large language models)
to which there is limited access for all apart from the companies that make it, and these could be further used by
other sub working groups to execute
the information given by them, who do not need proficiency to understand how
the entire thing works, but uses it
as an aid to their job[8].
For example, if I want an information on a certain
element, simply by
leveraging the ChatGPT API, I
would be able to collect
it without
knowing how this tool (ChatGPT) actually came with the
result. But to make a particular statement,
I don’t control ChatGPT, neither have access to its training nor the resources
and skill, that included humungous
amount of data, processing units, etc. well we don’t bother much about the control when we can easily chat and get our answers
from these AI tools.
The digital infrastructure requires plethora of computer languages
that are studied
and investigated by the
experts in the industries and thus its implications are seemingly complex for
anyone not having an expertise to it. Education around these glittery AI
tools could ground its hype but
that is restrained only to those who really wants
to do it.
II.iii.
Concerns and Decision’s
Now for almost every work and probative resolution
companies have majorly turned towards AI that everyday engages
its customers in a suggestive-solution based approach through
every use. Be it recommendation of a movie, food, clothes, etc. to effective usage
and implementation in our lives; everything is stuffed into our head along with abundance of reason and references. All these clicks are based on the
statistical models by implementing the relevant action with the
help of permanent data’ which are feed into them and that makes them efficient enough
to make correct prediction, judgement
or recommendation. But again, these digital infrastructural forms are based on the raw material which is the various and
large amount of data fed into it, which
becomes the decisive factor that directly deals with a customer’s reliability.
But in certain areas there are question over ethics and legality when it
comes in dealing with personal
data for humans that makes it a lesser
choice for someone in search of it[9].
Hence, there are talks on Data protections and rules
that deals with the protection of humans, as well as scenarios
including idea on original contents and copyright on them. But this scenario
could lead to two distinct questions: one being, whether there should be
encouragement with data transparency
and accessibility that will help not only
organisations but also wider communities and societies? Or, should
there be restrictions imposed on them to avoid misuse and increase a safe and sustainable digital environment and how
much? The deeper delve into the
usage of data by the organisations are the main factor to come up as they are
the master to the game that is creating
the noise for power and currency, for the satisfaction of material ideas.
On looking into usage if AI in criminal justice system,
reference could be derived from, case of
Justice K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) and Another v. Union of India and Others (2017)[10], the Supreme Court of
India held that, right to privacy is a fundamental right under the Indian Constitution.
This decision could potentially be used to challenge the use of AI in
the criminal justice system if it is found to violate the right to privacy.
In the case of Pradyuman Bisht v. Union of India[11], which focuses on the gun firing incidents of courts, that led to a question on security and thus
installation of CCTV cameras was demanded.
Digitization of Indian courts for future should
include tools which is able to be used in all procedure of trials and determination of offenders and offenses.
One such segment
used in U.S.A being COMPAS (Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Solutions) that helps judges in terms of risk assessment by determining factors
such as criminal history,
social and economic
background and mental health
to anticipate the presence of habit of relapsing
into crime.
In the case of United States v. Loomis (2018)[12], the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that the use of a risk assessment algorithm
which is generally used to determine the risk of escape for offenders or violence and such information is used for security and programming, where in a pretrial detention
decision violated the defendant's right to due process. The court found that the algorithm was not sufficiently
transparent and that it was not clear how the algorithm was making its decisions.
III.
The ceaseless chameleonic ecosystem of Data’
With all the cacophony about data and the question on
its transparency including the extent of it
being used and how is a cognizant question to be answered by us for a protected
and sustainable future with computers!
A bunch of dormant information sitting in the software
(clouds) to a useful insight on a particular
matter is a journey of importance. Any organisation currently operating in
2024, having access to relevant data
can change their entire working process of the organisation in a different direction which is much profitable.
If we talk about the business enterprises, who works with these tons of
accumulated data’ by the software’s and by putting
them into use and on being transparent with them, by transparency
it is meant to have a clean and an explanatory view of every aspect happening
in an enterprise and such could
exponentially rise the beneficial aspect of the organisation, as those being the asset to them.
Every day on an hourly
basis, the data changes for any operating
organisation with respect to each aspect
of their products
and services that are provided
or used by its customers. Such information’s get stored in the system
and stays in there forever.
A data is the sole
determinator and informer of the core operational model
of any organisation that includes
every minute details
of a question about any organisation or enterprise, including
who is responsible for what kind of job. The technology has put us or the official executives of any enterprise into silos, which could be bridge by the data’ which are being
created and also accessed during the
operational cycle of an organisation, as such will break even the silos of the tons of dormant data.
For doing these, generative AI comes as an aid that
creates a new approach to these business models for data foundation for giving an updated form
of storing data’ and give new insights. Thus,
all the existing data’ could be transparent enough to leverage the usage in a
new and improvised version. Hence,
the approach of companies has shifted towards the benefit on having capturing, managing and processing
the free form of data that should potentially be available across an organisation[13].
According to company
expert of Accenture, dormant data activation could have a probable six step procedure, as suggested, that include to extricate from silos and extending
together as well as
productise or treating data like a product that is meant to be concealed and
automate it like a software programme
added democratise and publish them[14].
Such are the raw material require for the final product
of a company that includes to decide in product
making, customer demands as well the exact knowledge available to the company
as to how their products are actually
being used., that ultimately helps the entire organisation to decide their role and contributions accordingly. Thus, opening
up the lancet for data transparency
helps in the internal regulations of an organisation that could only be
possible with constant supervision and inspection or sometimes spying.
But, on the other hand the
available or transparent and modified published information to the customers
also helps in their decision making, as credibility and ethics is required on both sides that democratise in choosing the right
one leading to enhancement in customer
relationship and profits.
Amidst the data transparency there comes an equivocal
issue of protection of privacy of the data’ available. We face real life threat and
cases that are currently compelling us to rethink on things already done. For example, if we
take the Unique identification authority of India (UIDAI), the authority responsible for the implementation and
regulation of Adhar cards that was
made mandatory over the period for every Indian citizen but was introduced
almost a decade ago that includes
humongous amount of data viz., basic information’s, biometrics and two iris scans,
etc., and such card bearing
on its face twelve digit numbers, unique
to everyone, was used everywhere as our aid to existence and regulations,
have very recently shown concern over the serious
frauds that eventually took place as well as constantly taking place with public due to the open usage of them and so
again a new suggestive concept of masked Adhar card that have made only last four digits
visible on the face of the card is coming
into picture so that the frauds could be lessened.
III.i. What’s the extent
of our freedom to remain as human’?
On a talk with Tim cook,
the CEO of Apple Inc. raised his concerns on privacy
issues with the huge amount of data
that is already in circulation. He said, “… I spoke in Brussels, about the emergence of a data industrial complex. At
that gathering we asked ourselves, what kind of world do we want to live in? Two years later, we should take a
hard look at how we have answered that question...”[15]. On one hand we are
talking about the ideal data with the
organisation and how to put it to use and on the other, there are
serious issues with regards to it
that is the real fact, spilled by the industry experts. In the interconnected
ecosystem of the companies along with the data brokers,
there are interference of pedlar’s and hackers sitting
to make a quick buck and is
in an ever-increasing form. This ultimately leading to compromise with our birth right to privacy as well as
social habitat as this is as equal to selling our own selves as the data’ are nothing but our privacy, information,
personal details, security including our preferences and freedom to be us.
Let us understand few concepts about why the companies
are really desperate with our data’ which
are now more than just our basic information. The big technology companies
thrive on our data’ that now also
involves governments to use them and seldom for their beneficiary; Such method has become a trend worldwide
and mostly when fighting elections
and campaigning for the same.
As the most lucid asset,
Data’ are being compiled and managed by companies like
snowflake, Teradata and Palantir, who
turn them into useful information worth billions of dollars by making sense of our data and those are the
pillar of decision for other big shots. Thus, every time we are coming online, the information brokers gather our data and use it to the user profiles
sample that ultimately generate them money. All the breadcrumb data’ are
being paired with others and coming
into shape of big data’ that are used by the companies for solely their profits. For storing such big sets of data’
generatively the companies came up with cheap storage method that do not interfere with computers processors. The policies of the securities exchange commission
and future trading commissions were
upgraded where such anti-competitive behaviours
of the big companies were eventually put under conception of Fair use and made legal by coming under the wide “economic
moat”; This means that, the companies were allowed to generate
more sales than their rivals and raise more profits[16].
As per Harvard business review[17], companies are doing peoples analytics which is scanning employee’s behavioural data to improve
sales specially when it comes to business to business and impacting to
make huge internal changes
and is a decisive factor
when it comes to relating
with customers. In oppose to a new player entering the market who won’t
get data until they have any users, which make these big companies by constantly monitoring every move of their users and upgrade themselves like that,
without the conscious knowledge of their users. And henceforth, these data’
could be sold to the ones in need by the big companies and if they are not doing it, they might use them for their own good.
There are numerous examples which can be found
relatable., like the e-commerce websites knowing
beforehand by analysing our browsing and purchasing habits thus, turning into
data trading activity and showing exactly
what we want and related advertisements to persuade us.
We have the liberty to play with our smart phones or
digital boxes as they are primarily observant
about the mechanism of our mind. So, we got the motive but is it enough when we are to answer who is buying and selling our personal data, what happens
after it gets sold. Data collecting firms check and package data and sell it to business.
But, this kind of activities has expressed prohibition
by companies’ policies and everything happening
within their digital boundaries is subject to scrutiny. The major companies
whose revenues are based on
advertisements like Google[18]
or Facebook[19],
who gains advantage by not sharing
user data, but yet this is not the real scenario. For example,
if a company who have active
users of almost one lakh, if a third party pays Rupees one thousand for one
thousand users each month, the
selling company would get the entire amount directly; but users have to accept certain pop ups for information
requirement like location tracking and to which we merely understand that the application per se is using the location
data as they nowhere mention
that they are forwarding it to the third-party[20]. There actually is no anonymised collection of data, even though they are marketed
through this terminology as they have all the knowledge of even our food and spending habits. The users always don’t get what they see, rather
the other way round if they check for a place to
eat is actually passing on the information as to where they stay or like to eat, as there evidently no bit of knowledge
stating about their surveillance. Added,
after our data is bought, the brokers create our profile via data mining[21] that again follows
various techniques to predict the potential customers or the behaviour of the
market they are already dealing in.
thus, more and more privacy friendly options are desirable to hold onto our existence
private to ourselves and not always
publish us to others[22] or
getting watched or our behaviour to be recorded[23].
Another concern that eventually arises due to the viability of the data’
scenario is the protection of them via GDPR (General data
protection regulation) or copyright. On this context again a new concern topped the chart that deals
with the author’s risk of loosing their copyright with respect to the contents where AI can claim copyright[24], as guided by US, on the event where a author could not copyright
individual images created by AI and not human, and longstanding that creators to be mandatorily humans.
IV.
The retardant’ in the cacophony
As we move further to the set policies or guidance[25] by the copyright office of the US, we get a sharp structure as to what is not a copyrightable element as
‘instructions to a commissioned artist’ –
are the works lacking human intervention and not subject to copyright
registration. As on an earliest stage of map-read, any author arranging a generative AI in an exact or particular sequence can claim copyright on the
sequence provided it is sufficiently creative or if any author or artist modified and it has met the standard of
copyright protection, an AI generated material, basically
how the AI tools operate and create the final work[26].
An article published in 2023, talks about a new and
developing idea conceived by Microsoft based
on their users concern over the risks involved with Intellectual property
infringement claims, which pushed the
company to offer legal protection to the customers under Copilot copyright commitment who are sued as a result of the content generated via AI system to which the company is responsible and customers
can browse and use generative AI without any
worries[27].
As large tech believes security to be the foundation of
privacy[28], by minimising the acquiring of
data along with advancement of data privacy policy throughout their
applications store ecosystem. Sharing
of the data collection in privacy practises
with understandable user information;
the next possible positive way is on letting the users having the control as
well over their information and
decision is relying on them on how they want their data to be handled, so that we defer from becoming a
product whose entire life is being monitored; the main idea is we never needed so much data to thrive
in market, neither
to boost up technology this ample amount of data is
required.
Many countries like the Europe or United Kingdom have
adapted the policy of General Data Protection Regulation and India has already started
walking in its ground plan which works on certain
principles irrespective of the country
they’re used in, that
could be summed as[29]–
a)
the personal data could be summed
up in a lawful (dealing with the legal basis for processing a data), fair (it is subjective, based on
individual’s reasonable expectations, meaning
usage of the personal data in a way that is not misleading) and transparent (providing all the information to the source
of data by telling the exact reason
as to why their data’ are being used for) in the way of usage of personal
data by the companies;
b)
Data are to be collected solely for
defined, obvious, authorised way that is the purpose limitation, exceptions for research and statistics;
c)
Not collecting more personal data than required for the stated purpose and less harm, is
leaning towards Data minimisation policy;
d)
In terms of accuracy, it is made
sure that any sort of inaccurate data other than the purported one is to be either
erased or rectified anything incorrect
immediately;
e)
In the view of keeping the data as permitted, until it is required
or necessary to be stored
for the purpose of it being fetched and no unnecessary retention of it,
as already stated under transparency principle, is the storage limitation of data;
f)
The security of the personal data’ against unauthorised and unlawful protection, loss or damage,
often referred as integrity and confidentiality principle;
g)
A controller is responsible for compliance with every
other points as mentioned above and leading to be the main element by GDPR and thus, accountability is the motto of
protection by default in law coming along with various obligations when it comes to handling a personal data.
Conclusion
To talk on the downside aspect of AI in contrast with the beneficial aspects has been
alarming. It has called for a peer review of our security and how much we want
to disclose ourselves in front of the
world, or else how much the world is knowing about us due to the presence of internet and our consensual
use of it, without our knowledge Vis-à-vis being an era of veritable era of golden knowledge democracy! Such is evolving
us in a various manner
and at the same time stepping onto almost every aspect of our existence.
The information’s feed into the digital models, even
though based on precedents yet are in itself not so accurate
to be completely relied upon. That no machines can replace a man, but it has aided in its work, with an unending upgradation that is mostly
with the intention
for better work performance
with a little bend towards principles, that is the founding stone of how to work at all. The system of building
the technology in consonance of guidance and
policy making to stick to the basic principles of trust and protection
will fetch a more secured world to live in.

[20] Third-party access refers to the
process of an organization granting external vendors and service providers secure
access to corporate IT assets for maintenance, administration and management
purposes. Many organizations rely on third-party vendors and managed service providers
to support their internal IT systems, applications and infrastructure. Outside
vendors and service organizations often require privileged access to on-premises
and cloud-based IT systems and business applications to perform routine support
and administrative functions.
[21] Data mining is the use of machine
learning and statistical analysis to uncover patterns and other valuable information
from large data sets; The data mining techniques that underpin data analyses can
be deployed for two main purposes. They can either describe the target data set
or they can predict outcomes by using machine learning algorithms; These
methods are used to organize and filter data, surfacing the most useful information,
from fraud to user behaviours, bottlenecks and even security breaches.
