Abstract: The modern world is encountering new challenges, and the nature and forms of crime have transformed. Where earlier physical conflicts dominated criminal activities, today, online and digital platforms have taken their place. Most work is now conducted digitally. All government schemes are being provided online, which requires individuals to share their personal information. At the same time, the use of social media compels people to disclose much of their private information voluntarily. However, uploading personal data on social media always carries a risk of misuse. In the present times, digital data is considered the new gold, and the importance of data security is increasing globally. European countries have already implemented strict data protection laws. India is also advancing towards this direction. The introduction of artificial intelligence has brought a modern revolution that has significantly impacted various fields. Every sector is striving to make use of artificial intelligence, highlighting its importance in development. The primary objective of artificial intelligence is to make human life easier and to facilitate operations efficiently. This research paper will discuss the significance and need for digital data protection and how artificial intelligence plays a role in regulating it. It will also examine the current data protection laws and how artificial intelligence contributes to legal frameworks for data security.
