Abstract

The Indian Constitution, originally adopted in 1950, has proven to be a dynamic and adaptable framework capable of addressing new-age challenges, including those arising in the digital and technological spheres. With the exponential growth of digital infrastructure and the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), concerns surrounding privacy, data protection, surveillance, algorithmic bias, and accountability have become central to democratic governance. This essay examines how the Indian Constitution protects digital rights, explores the evolving jurisprudence around AI governance, and assesses the role of constitutional institutions in ensuring a rights-based approach to technology adoption. By analyzing legal provisions, landmark judgments, and emerging policy frameworks, the essay underscores the relevance and resilience of the Indian Constitution in the face of digital transformation.
