Abstract: Human intelligence brought in technological and information revolutions in the society. The progress of civilizations, as evidenced by the ever- changing information technology, easily accessible by use of computers was no doubt put to use for improvement in standard of living of human beings. Information technology has become a valuable source for development of commerce, communication, entertainment and companionship. It has affected human life in every respect around the world. Data breach involves criminal activities that are traditional in nature, such as theft, fraud, forgery, defamation and mischief. The abuse of computers has also given birth to a gamut of new age crimes such as hacking, web defacement, cyber stalking, web jacking, etc. Legal provisions should provide assurance to users, empowerment to law enforcement agencies and deterrence to criminals. The law is as stringent as its enforcement. Crime is no longer limited to space, time or a group of people and with the invent of the artificial intelligence, it would neither be limited with the culprit being present in the physical world and to deal with the challenges that lies ahead of us posed by the artificial intelligence, our legislation should evolve too with the evolution of the information technology otherwise the future might bring with itself the crime where owing to the lacunas of the legislation, it would be a hard battle which has to be fought to actually penalize the culprit and provide the justice. The research paper focuses on how cogent our current legal framework is to deal with the artificial intelligence and protect the data and what are the changes which should be brought about in the legislations to deal with the same.
