Schedule Hearings, Track Cases, Give Advice to Potential Litigants—AI Can Revolutionize Indian Judiciary

News 18  

Within India today, AI’s exploitation is arguably linked to improving administrative efficiency and improving decision-making processes in the justice system. Furthermore, intelligent tools, like legal bots, can be designed to help potential litigants with better informed decision making concerning their legal rights, and easily and cost-effectively access basic legal services. Additionally, as was announced last year, the SC AI Committee is also working on a composite new tool named SUPACE, which will target different processes like data mining, legal research, projecting case progress, etc. In the Indian justice system, any aid to save judicial or legal time by expediting these processes will be a significant value addition. This is part-1 of a two-part series on AI and judiciary wherein excerpts from the paper ‘Responsible Artificial Intelligence for the Indian Justice System’ are published with the permission of Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy.
