Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud on Saturday said the advancement of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in the judicial system is inevitable.
In his opening remarks at the Indo-Singapore Judicial Conference, he stated, “We cannot avoid the question of using AI in court adjudication. The integration of AI in modern processes, including court proceedings, raises complex ethical, legal, and practical considerations that demand a thorough examination. The use of AI in court adjudication presents both opportunities and challenges that warrant nuanced deliberation,” the CJI said.
The Chief Justice described AI as a double-edged sword with a capacity to either enhance or undermine the pursuit of justice.
