- The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Improving the Public Health Care Delivery System in India: A Legal-Ethical Audit Download PDF
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized healthcare by addressing infrastructural inadequacies, doctor shortages, and inaccessibility. Other than enhancing diagnostics, data analysis, trend analysis, and precision medicine, AI has been instrumental in various hospital settings, from patient triage to cancer detection. However, this valuable asset has far-fetching legal and ethical implications, necessitating a robust legal framework for regulating AI-powered healthcare. This paper suggests an audit mechanism and examines the future trajectory of AI-augmented healthcare in India. The existing literature (2018–2025) on the intersection of AI and healthcare, available on PubMed, SCOPUS, and legal databases, was reviewed from the perspective of legal and ethical issues. Patient outcomes can potentially be improved with AI complementing doctor’s expertise. However, given the inexplicability of AI systems and “Black Box” problem, doctors, ethicists, programmers, and other stakeholders in AI development are often at a crossroads. A review of the existing literature reveals their common concerns: (i) understanding “intelligence” and “computation”; (ii) the question of informed consent in data collection, use, and processing; (iii) the changing dynamics and challenges to the doctor–patient relationship with increasing AI integration; (iv) accountability for errors in AI-generated outputs. The potential benefits of AI must be balanced against legal and ethical issues to guard against the harmful effects of uncritical use. We suggest that a legal framework developed in this context should be informed to facilitate access and equity through AI-powered healthcare. Considering the “superhuman” and “subhuman” traits of AI, regulation should encourage the development of AI systems that augment, rather than replace, human effort.

- Syed Mahmood: Colonial India's Dissenting Judge At a time when ordinary courage has become rare, one has to look up to the lives of those who stood for dissent in the colonial era. Back in the 19th century, Justice Syed Mahmood, son of the great social reformer Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, became the first judge to resist colonial power by espousing the cause of judicial independence. At the age of just 32, he not only remains the youngest, but also the first Indian Muslim and first north Indian to be appointed as a High Court judge in India. Endowed with a judicial acuity ahead of his times, a number of his dissents were later accepted by the courts, and continue to be the law.
This book chronicles the triumphs and tragedies of Syed Mahmood's life, and his contribution in shaping the consciousness of post 1857 India. With an impressive array of research, perception and analysis, the book succeeds in exhuming a seminal figure from the dust of history, and showcases the past speaking to the present. - Ethical-legal Implications of AI-Powered Healthcare in Critical Perspective
