‘AI is a Game-Changer in Legal Field’: Justice Hima Kohli on Why Artificial Intelligence Does not Pose a Threat, But an Opportunity

Live Law  

“AI is a game-changer in the legal field and has the potential to revolutionise the way lawyers work,” said Supreme Court judge Hima Kohli on Saturday. Amid increasing chatter that artificial intelligence and generative AI tools like ‘ChatGPT’ might make lawyers obscure, Justice Kohli insisted that AI should not be viewed as a threat, but as an opportunity to enhance the quality of legal practice. So, let us embrace technology and AI, but with wisdom and a steadfast commitment to the rule of law.” Justice Kohli was speaking on the topic of ‘Artificial Intelligence and the Legal Sector’ at the first anniversary of ‘i-Amicus’, an artificial intelligence-based knowledge-sharing platform created by the legal team of the ICICI Bank to help its customers deal with banking disputes. “It is a fact of life that AI is here to stay, and we must be prepared to face it with wisdom, foresight, and an open mind,” Justice Kohli said, highlighting that in the future, sophisticated AI-powered systems are expected to play a prominent role in predicting outcomes of legal cases, enabling both lawyers and judges to be better prepared and take more informed decisions.
