Guiding Vision
Prof. (Dr.) Ashok R Patil
Vice-Chancellor
The governance of artificial intelligence stands among the defining legal challenges of our time, as algorithms increasingly mediate justice, commerce, and public life. It is with this conviction that the National University of Study and Research in Law, Ranchi, has established the Centre of Excellence on Cyber Law & AI, Governance & Ethics.
CAGE is envisioned as a serious institutional commitment, one that brings scholarly rigour and policy-relevant research to bear on the most pressing questions of technology governance facing our nation. I have every confidence that the Centre will establish itself as a voice of consequence in this discourse, and I extend to it my fullest support.
