Also: Prompt Injection Complicates Digital Forensics, Why AI Seems So Deceptive
In this week’s ISMG Editors’ Panel, four editors unpacked India’s new data protection rules, the digital forensic implications of prompt injection attacks and the reasons why artificial intelligence tools so often seem to display deceptive behavior.

The panelists – Anna Delaney, executive director, productions; Tony Morbin, executive news editor, EU; Rashmi Ramesh, senior associate editor; and Suparna Goswami, executive editor – discussed:
- The new Digital Personal Data Protection, or DPDP, rules in India introducing stricter expectations around provable compliance – necessitating better tracking of data flows and maintaining detailed logs – backed by tighter notification deadlines and the threat of more severe penalties;
- Why prompt injection attacks can complicate digital forensics efforts because they oftentimes can’t be distinguished from normal user input, leave scant logging clues and create inconsistencies that make attribution and reconstruction more challenging for investigators;
- How seemingly deceptive behavior by AI tools often stems from optimization quirks and poorly defined objectives rather than intent, and why this can lead to misunderstandings that misdirect security teams and complicate effective oversight.
