Any technology opens enormous opportunities for individuals as well as societies. This undoubtedly will contribute to the welfare of the individuals and the growth of society. Since any technology is the creation of human intellect, it may also carry the issues of socio-cultural and environmental concerns, such as issues of acceptability, access, and equity. AI is no exception to this. This paper investigates some of the aspects related to the development and usage of AI, that includes accessibility relating to socio-cultural, economic, and ethical concerns. It argues for the need to evolve nation-specific policies and regulations addressing the issues of inequalities.
