Conclusions and Recommendations
Additional
The Recommendations 1. Technology must be treated as a distinctive sector, and its intersectional relationship with policy must be determined with a policy scheme which has a coherent yet unique legal infrastructure. The Indian State has to ensure that the infrastructure is unique to Indian realities, and is not affected by the policy qualms developed due to diplomatic relationship, but itself is domestic and autonomous enough to shape Indian foreign policy avenues. 2. Sector-specific regulators must be established to deal with matters related to technology law and regulation. 3. When it comes to shaping policy ideas in the realm of disruptive technologies, especially artificial intelligence, the Indian state must think out of the box and not pander around remnant ideas, to create a system of equilibrium. Instead, legal and policy adaptivity of the polity itself must be tested properly, so that nuanced and creative ideas are encouraged in technology policy. Again, they have to be domestically independent. 4. Deriving from not only academic resources, but also through boots-on-the-ground work & surveys – is the approach that needs to be taken with regards to governance in technology law. If Coherentist approaches are needed - it is important for the legislators to understand at the grassroot level - the implications of the same. If a technocratic approach is preferred, the domestic policy coordinates must be calibrated with some precision to gain leverage in the international community, which needs to be taken into consideration. 5. In case of Regulatory-Instrumentalist approaches, regulations need to be kept in check by bodies to ensure practical if not idealistic working of the machinery.
