| Abstract | Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in governance, enabling data-driven decision-making, automation, and improved public service delivery. However, the rapid deployment of AI technologies raises critical ethical concerns related to privacy, bias, accountability, and transparency. In the Indian context, and particularly in Karnataka one of the country’s leading technology hubs the integration of AI into governance structures necessitates a robust ethical and regulatory framework. This study examines the evolving concept of AI ethics and governance in Karnataka, analysing the institutional mechanisms and policy initiatives adopted by the state government. It highlights the establishment of the Responsible AI Committee, the Karnataka IT Policy 2025–2030, and alignment with national AI governance guidelines. The paper further identifies key ethical principles such as fairness, transparency, accountability, and inclusivity that guide AI deployment in governance. It critically evaluates the challenges and limitations in implementing responsible AI, including regulatory gaps, capacity constraints, data governance issues, and the risks of algorithmic bias. The study concludes that while Karnataka has taken proactive steps toward building an AI governance ecosystem, there is a need for stronger legal frameworks, stakeholder participation, and continuous monitoring to ensure ethical and responsible AI adoption. This research contributes to the broader discourse on AI governance by situating Karnataka as a case study for sub-national innovation in digital governance. |
