    Institutional and Technological Design Development Through Use of Case Based Discussion Arindrajit Basu, Elonnai Hickok and Regulatory Amber Sinha Interventions For Emerging Economies Governing The Use Of Artificial Intelligence In Public Functions Regulatory Interventions For Emerging Economies Governing The Use Of Artificial Intelligence In Public Functions Introduction Background and Scope The use of artificial intelligence (AI) driven decision making in public functions has been touted around the world as a means of augmenting human capacities, removing bureaucratic fetters, and benefiting society. Yet, with concerns over bias, fairness, and a lack of algorithmic accountability, it is being increasingly recognized that algorithms have the potential to exacerbate entrenched structural inequality and threaten core constitutional values. While these concerns are applicable to both the private and public sector, this paper focuses on recommendations for public sector use, as standards of comparative constitutional law dictate that the state must abide by the full scope of fundamental rights articulated both in municipal and international law. For example, as per Article 13 of the Indian Constitution, whenever the government is exercising a “public function”, it is bound by the entire range of fundamental rights articulated in Part III of the Constitution. However, the definition and scope of “public function” is yet to be clearly defined in any jurisdiction, and certainly has no uniformity across countries. This poses a unique challenge to the regulation of AI projects in emerging economies. Due to a lack of government capacity to implement these projects in their entirety, many private sector organizations are involved in functions which were traditionally identified in India as public functions, such as policing, education, and banking.

College for women (A) Kurnool Andhra Pradesh, India Abstract The major Christian missions in India. Drawing their strength and impetus from the religious awakening all over the world during 19th century, these denominations found economically backward, socially downtrodden and religiously deprived community in India for their work. Not losing a single opportunity, they concentrated on their goals. They were encouraged even astonished by the stunning and surprising results that their work accomplished in these areas. At present Christians constitute four percent of total population of Andhra Pradesh. We compared with results of many of the others areas in India this figure is more striking. Social awakening is connected with mobilization and modernization of the society in all means. In the era of modernization liberty, fraternity and equality are given the importance. This awakening emerges in gradual and steady process in all the human societies. The social consciousness awakening and political identity in India gradually emerged as a continuation of the politico-social movements that took place in India owing to the impact of western political thoughts and growth of English education. As a prelude to the social awakening, the spread of political consciousness worked as a contributory factor. The introduction of western education, judicial system and administrative measures and reorganization paved the way for the rise of a new middle class initially this group consolidated itself into political associations in case based society like India.
