AI AND RIGHTS OF THE CHILD: ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INDIAN LAWS IN PREVENTING MALICIOUS USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE SCOPE FOR AI-BASED CHILD PROTECTION Sneha Pandey, 3rd Semester, LLM in Business Law, student at KES’ Shri Jayatilal H. Patel Law College, Independent Advocate practicing on criminal side at Bombay High Court and Metropolitan Magistrates courts in Mumbai (India) Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2026.v4sil.06 Artificial Intelligence is 21st century’s equivalent of nuclear technology. For this prime and unreplaceable asset, the humankind has enrolled itself in the never-ending race to secure the highest position in the field of Artificial Intelligence technology. However, history remains the prime witness to the fact that every time the human race has chased its obsession to run after unsustainable development, the marginal sections have had to pay the price in some way or the other. The International AI Safety Report 2025, conducted by over 96 independent international AI experts led by Yoshua Bengio (a machine learning pioneer) was published with the support of the UK’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and coordinated through the UK AI Safety Institute (AISI). This report highlights the risks of using general purpose AI. One of the risks flagged by the report is the rise in malicious use of the Artificial Intelligence to generate Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). In a recent mortifying incident, this risk’s warning was turned true when X’s AI Grok was misused on a large scale for creating sexually explicit images of women and minors by “digitally undressing” them in photos they had uploaded on ‘X’. In this context, the present research paper aims to assess the effectiveness of the existing legal framework in India to prevent and protect the violation of rights of children by the malicious use of Artificial Intelligence technology. In addition to this, the research paper also attempts to explore the possibility of using Artificial Intelligence as a tool for identifying, tracing and curbing the violation of Rights of Children through AI.

CHILDREN’S RIGHTS AND PROTECTION IN INDIA

CHILDREN’S RIGHTS AND PROTECTION IN INDIA M. David Ziegan Paul, BA. LLB. (Hons), 3rdyear, Bharath institute of law, Chennai (India) Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2026.v04.13 This paper are Children’s rights and protection remain central concerns in India, where nearly one-third of the population consists of individuals under the age of 18. Safeguarding their rights is not only a moral obligation but also a constitutional mandate, reinforced by international commitments such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which India ratified in 1992. Despite existing frameworks, children in India continue to face multiple vulnerabilities, including child labour, child marriage, trafficking, abuse, and lack of access to quality education and healthcare. These challenges hinder their growth, development, and ability to live with dignity. And the Right to Education Act, which provide strong legal backing for children’s rights. Initiatives such as ICDS (Integrated Child Development Services), mid-day meal schemes, and child helplines demonstrate efforts to ensure protection and welfare. However, gaps remain in terms of implementation, awareness, and accessibility, particularly in rural and marginalized communities. Issues like poverty, gender inequality, and lack of effective enforcement mechanisms further deepen the crisis of child protection. Strengthening child rights requires a multi-dimensional approach that combines legal enforcement, social awareness, community participation, and institutional support. There is also a need to integrate child-sensitive policies within broader development agendas to ensure holistic growth and equal opportunities for every child. Protecting children is not only about shielding them from exploitation and abuse but also about empowering them to thrive in safe, supportive environments. A comprehensive rights-based approach will ensure that children in India not only survive but also flourish, thereby laying the foundation for a more equitable and progressive society.
