Frequently asked questions on AI, digital legacy, and privacy

The wrong way: gloss over questions, or give vague answers. This page circles back to the tough spots. Each response aims to clarify—not just what, but why. No jargon. No promises that can't be kept. Every answer reflects current practice and Indian law.

Digital legacy is often misunderstood as just keeping data. The reality: it involves ongoing rights, evolving technology, and family or legal access. We revisit these questions as standards shift, so expect answers that reflect both current regulations and practical realities.

AI ethics isn't a checklist. It's a recurring process. Consent, transparency, and accountability get reviewed at each turn. As new dilemmas appear, the team updates responses to keep pace with technology and expectations.

Managing sensitive data is never a one-time task. Privacy settings, user control, and legal requirements must be checked and rechecked. Each FAQ here considers these moving parts, so users can make informed decisions.
