The Centre is pleased to share the publication of a book chapter titled “Legal Ambiguity Meets Artificial Intelligence: Unfair Trade Practices Under Indian Law and the Challenge of Automated Interpretation” by Prof. Krishna Deo Singh Chauhan, Associate Director of the Centre, in the International Handbook of Legal Language and Communication (Springer Nature). Co-authored with Prof. Anupriya of Jindal Global Law School, the chapter examines the growing use of artificial intelligence in regulatory enforcement, particularly in the context of unfair trade practices and dark patterns. The authors argue that while AI can assist in identifying harmful practices at scale, it remains ill-equipped to interpret inherently ambiguous legal concepts such as what constitutes “unfair” or “misleading” conduct. Drawing on interpretive theory, the chapter highlights the limitations of automated decision-making in areas where legal ambiguity is deliberate and persistent, and advocates for a framework that combines AI-enabled detection with human oversight and explainability.
