When AI Decisions Cause Real Harm

Artificial intelligence now influences hiring, lending, insurance, content moderation, and digital identity. A harmful output is still legally actionable even when it is generated by an algorithm. We represent clients where automated decisions have caused measurable professional, financial, or reputational damage.

Legal Framework We Use

Our strategy combines existing Indian law with emerging AI governance standards: the DPDP Act, 2023, the IT Act, 2000, the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, labour and contract law, and constitutional equality protections. We also track global developments such as the EU AI Act and advisories from MeitY.

Deepfake Defamation and AI Identity Misuse

We handle urgent takedown and injunction actions when deepfake or AI-generated content falsely depicts an individual. Our work includes criminal complaints, platform escalation, and civil damages claims where fabricated media causes business loss, professional harm, or personal trauma.

AI in Employment: Hiring, Monitoring, and Termination

Automated HR systems cannot be used to justify opaque or discriminatory decisions. We challenge AI-linked dismissals, adverse hiring outcomes, and data-driven workplace penalties under labour law, including proceedings under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 where applicable.

AI Copyright, Ownership, and Training Data Disputes

AI-content disputes increasingly involve unlicensed training data, output similarity, and unclear ownership rights. We advise creators, companies, and platforms on enforceability, infringement risk, and legal remedies under the Copyright Act, 1957 and current guidance of the Copyright Office of India.

Algorithmic Discrimination in Credit and Insurance

If automated scoring or underwriting tools produce biased outcomes, we pursue legal and regulatory remedies. These matters may involve constitutional protections under Articles 14, 15, and 16, sectoral complaints to RBI and IRDAI, and consumer-forum actions.

Autonomous-System and Platform Liability

We advise and litigate where autonomous or AI-enabled systems fail and cause loss, including product-liability and negligence frameworks. We also represent users and businesses in AI moderation disputes, wrongful account restrictions, and takedown or reinstatement proceedings involving intermediary platforms.

How We Build These Cases

We combine legal strategy with technical evidence mapping: logs, platform trails, model outputs, communications, contracts, and policy disclosures. Our goal is practical relief: interim protection, restoration of rights, compensation, and enforceable compliance obligations on responsible entities.
