Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought about a new way of analysing data and businesses are now extracting insights into the swarm of data available. However, it is crucial to establish various legal and ethical issues associated with the application of AI in data management. In this paper, the author will discuss the development of data governance and its relation to ethical issues like bias, privacy, and transparency, as well as legal issues concerning GDPR, CCPA, and the AI Act. The present papers aim to provide a conceptual framework for ethical AI governance and analyse legal frameworks regulating AI-operated analytics. Finally, the article focuses on the implications of new developments in AI and provides suggestions for policy-makers and business executives. I propose to carry out the study to narrow down the gap between innovation in AI and its governance to make the analytics done by AI efficient as well as moral
