The JSW Centre for the Future of Law, NLSIU, is jointly organising a talk with the Department of Computational and Data Sciences (CDS), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), on “AI Applications, Technology Regulation and Ethics”.

• Day & Date: Friday, 13 November 2026
• Time: 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM
• Venue: CDS #102 Seminar Hall, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru

About the talk

How should artificial intelligence be governed? What ethical principles should guide its development and deployment? Can technical mechanisms such as watermarking help establish the provenance and attribution of AI-generated content?

This session will examine these questions from complementary legal, regulatory and technological perspectives. Dr. Rahul Hemrajani from NLSIU will discuss regulatory and ethical approaches to AI. Dr. Danish Pruthi from IISc will discuss model-output watermarking and attribution from technological and regulatory perspectives.

The presentations will be followed by a moderated panel discussion and audience Q&A.

Speakers

Dr. Rahul Hemrajani is an Assistant Professor of Law and Faculty Director of the JSW Centre for the Future of Law at NLSIU, whose research spans empirical legal studies, judicial decision-making, and applications of AI in law.

Dr. Danish Pruthi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computational and Data Sciences at IISc, whose research focuses on natural language processing, responsible AI, model interpretability, and the evaluation of large language models.

Host and Moderator: Prof. Yogesh Simmhan, Department of Computational and Data Sciences, IISc.

About the Joint Talk Series

This session launches a joint talk series by the Department of Computational and Data Sciences (CDS), IISc, and the JSW Centre for the Future of Law, NLSIU. The series will alternate between IISc and NLSIU as the host institution and will explore the intersections of emerging technology, law, ethics, regulation and public policy.
