About Shruti Kaushik

Objective: To produce robust, impactful, and ethical research and documentation. Using new media technologies in creating avenues of access, Information, and democracy.I hold the position of Legal Product Developer at IndianKanoon.org, where I am building Machine-Learning and Generative tools with the aim of making legal data more accessible to the general public through website features. I have successfully trained 2 products that have been released and are available for everyone to use. Following which I have also developed genAI tools for IndianKanoon mainly -\"Know your kanoon\" and \"Talk with IK doc\". Apart from that I also assist in the everyday functioning of the database (updating legislation, detecting layout issues, search relevance, user queries, bugs detection, and providing workshops on Using IK for legal research) and handle communication-related tasks for the organization (organisational signups, collaborating with research projects related to AI and legal data, user feedback, etc.). I have previously led a research project at Sarai (CSDS) relating to \"Government Response to Misinformation\" with a special focus on Digital news, take down notices sent to Twitter and judicial cases filed against journalists, citizen dissenters and public personalities who indulge in information dissemination under the current political regime. I have completed my post-graduation from Ambedkar University in \"Law, Politics and Society\" an interdisciplinary curriculum that specializes in analytical legal research, the everyday-ness of law, and its social and political consequences. As a partial requirement of my master\'s, I wrote a thesis dissertation on ‘#hashtag’ movements as new forms of social movements, understanding how digital spaces affect and mimic real infrastructures. Previous to that, I graduated from Hindu College in (B.A) Political Science.A poster child for everything pop! I am deeply motivated to research and assess the intricacies of new media and AI technology on the current legal-political-social ethos. I also enjoy following internet cultures, niche memes, and social media discourses.(All views expressed by me are strictly mine and do not represent any organization I’m employed at.)
