Centre for Communication Governance at National Law University, Delhi CCG is the only academic research Centre dedicated to working on information law and policy in India.

The Centre for Communication Governance at National Law University Delhi is the only academic research centre working on issues of information law and policy in India. The Centre for Communication Governance (CCG) was established by the University in 2013 to ensure that Indian legal education establishments engage more meaningfully with information law and policy, and contribute to improved governance and policymaking. Through its Technology and Society team, CCG seeks to embed constitutional rights and good governance within information policy and examine the evolution of existing rights frameworks to accommodate new media and emerging technology. It aims to protect and expand the rights to dignity and equality, freedom of speech, right to assembly and association, and the right to privacy in the digital age, through rigorous academic research, policy intervention, capacity building, and strategic litigation. The Technology and National Security team at CCG looks at the role of international and domestic law in India’s national security matters from a legal and policy perspective, with a particular focus on cybersecurity, cyber conflict, and other emerging technologies. It aims to build a better understanding of national security issues in a manner that identifies legal and policy solutions that balance the legitimate security interests and national security choices with the constitutional liberties and the rule of law. The work at CCG is designed to build competence and raise the quality of discourse in research and policy around issues concerning cyber policy, global Internet governance, and media laws. The research and policy output is intended to catalyze effective, research-led policy making and informed public debate and the legal and technological landscape around issues in cyber policy, internet governance, other emerging technologies, and traditional media.

As companies around the world race to build increasingly powerful frontier models, it becomes ever more important to ask what governs AI and how we choose to shape its future.

In the latest video from our MAP-AI Talks series, Rafael Zanatta, Executive Director of , emphasises the need to broaden the concept of safety beyond accidental harms to account for the risks and concerns faced by data labellers and other stakeholders across the AI ecosystem.

With critical convenings on AI governance coming up as part of the UN General Assembly (UNGA), the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), and the Swiss Summit 2027, the series ‘MAP-AI Talks’ revisits some of the insights we heard from the ecosystem during our February convening in New Delhi on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit.

This series aims to resurface critical perspectives on AI governance, reflect on where we are, and clarify our goals as we prepare for the next leg of our multistakeholder engagements.

In a world where frontier AI models are solving problems once considered beyond reach, the question is no longer only what AI can do, but how we choose to shape what comes next.

With critical convenings on AI governance coming up as part of the UN General Assembly (UNGA), the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), and the Swiss Summit 2027, MAP AI is excited to launch a new series of MAP-AI Talks that revisits some of the insights we heard from the ecosystem during our February convening in New Delhi on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit.

This series aims to resurface some critical perspectives on AI governance, to reflect on where we are and what some of our goals are as we prepare for the next leg of our multistakeholder engagements.

John Palfrey, president of the MacArthur Foundation, reflects on how AI should be centred on humanity rather than another idea of progress or innovation. John highlights the enormous potential of AI to advance science, healthcare and human well-being, while emphasising that realising these benefits requires an intentional commitment to human values, including incorporating the perspectives of young people.

AI that always agrees with us may feel helpful, but agreement is not the same as accuracy. AI sycophancy creates an epistemic and governance problem: systems can become persuasive precisely when they should be cautious, corrective, or uncertain.

The policy recommendation should not be to build ‘colder’ systems. It is to build systems that can combine empathy with honesty, personalisation with autonomy, and assistance with accountability.

Dating apps can open up new possibilities for connection, agency and sexual autonomy. But behind every profile, swipe and match is a trail of personal data.

Who gets access to it? How is it used? And do you actually have a choice about what you share?

Our latest work, 'Platform Accountability in Online Dating: A Critical Analysis of Privacy, Discrimination and Safety Harms in India', looks at these questions and what platforms and regulators need to do differently.

In December 2025, Australia banned children from accessing a number of social media platforms. The ban seeked to protect children from online harms. Recently, the Australian eSafety Commissioner came out with a report on the first three months of the ban. We break down the key findings of this report.

The pronounced power asymmetries in AI and an uneven distribution of its benefits and harms between the Global North and the Global South necessitate a coordinated approach to international AI governance.

We at the Centre for Communication Governance (CCG) are happy to announce the release of a joint civil society report under the banner of the Multistakeholder Approaches to Participation in AI Governance (MAP-AI) initiative.

Developed in collaboration with the Global Digital Rights Coalition, the Global Digital Justice Forum, the Global South Alliance, and civil society members of the Gender in Digital Coalition (GiDC), this report documents collective experiences from the inaugural UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance held in Geneva earlier this month.

Our colleagues Palash Srivastava and Sukriti contributed to Cluster 3 of the report on building safe, secure, and trustworthy AI, emphasising the need for a ‘precautionary approach’ for AI development and deployment.

As AI systems and data-driven decision-making become increasingly embedded across sectors, PPDM is emerging as an important approach to balancing innovation with privacy protection. However, stronger privacy safeguards can reduce the usefulness of data for analysis, while advances in computing and re-identification techniques continue to challenge existing privacy protections. This makes PPDM an evolving area of both technical innovation and public policy.

Tech policy can be a tough nut to crack, but we at CCG strive to make it more accessible. Join our discourse in the comments below.
