The paper constitutes a significant policy contribution from the Centre, situating India&#8217;s Right to Information architecture within the emerging governance challenges posed by AI-enabled public decision-making. The paper argues that the RTI Act, 2005, in its current form, operates as a reactive, demand-driven regime: the right to information is individualised, record-centric, and enforced only through adjudication triggered by a citizen&#8217;s request. The paper calls for a shift towards a proactive, systems-driven disclosure architecture in which transparency is treated as a continuous institutional obligation and a public good, rather than an individual entitlement to be claimed on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A working paper by Prof. Kashish Makkar and Prof. Ashwin  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":7396,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7395"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7395\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7397,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7395\/revisions\/7397"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jgu.edu.in\/cscailr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
