Prof. Krishna Deo Singh Chauhan, Associate Director of the Centre, co-authored a commentary with Prof. Anupriya, Lecturer at Jindal Global Law School, on why 2025 may be remembered as a year of ‘crystallisation’ in AI and an emerging geopolitical arms race. Published in South Asia Monitor, the piece reviews developments over the past year and traces how several long-discussed questions about AI are now taking concrete form. The commentary notes that ethically ambiguous AI deployments are no longer edge cases but are increasingly embedded in routine institutional decision-making – from hiring and workplace screening to healthcare triage and classroom assessment. It also addresses the shifting information environment, AI’s positive potential in scientific research and medicine, early court decisions clarifying copyright doctrine as applied to model training, and the widening US-China technology rivalry, which is making global regulatory consensus harder even as harms are widely recognised.
