contents <p>In this article, we have attempted to analyze the phenomenon of artificial intelligence from a socio-legal standpoint, using a mixed-method research approach that draws on both qualitative and quantitative secondary data. Our central argument is that artificial intelligence functions as a "double-edged sword"; while it has undeniably made life more convenient and accessible, it simultaneously poses serious risks to individuals, societies, and legal systems that cannot be ignored.</p> <p>We have explored how blind dependability on AI, though productive in many sectors, can lead to dangerous over-reliance. We have also examined the moral dilemmas faced by media organizations using AI, the rapid rise of misinformation and deepfakes, and the growing culture of academic dishonesty fueled by AI tools. Particularly concerning to us is the use of deepfakes as a weapon for reputation degradation, a problem that is especially alarming in a country like Bangladesh, where legal frameworks to address such issues remain underdeveloped.</p> <p>In terms of legal responses, we have surveyed global AI regulatory initiatives, including the EU AI Act of 2024, Japan's soft-law approach, and Brazil's draft legislation, to draw lessons for developing nations. We have also put forward concrete recommendations, including the enactment of AI-specific legislation in Bangladesh, promotion of public participation in policymaking and the adoption of ethical standards in AI development and deployment.</p> <p>Ultimately, we conclude that while AI is a revolutionary innovation, its accurate implementation and proper legal control are essential to maximize its benefits while minimizing the harm it can cause to society.</p>
