BENGALURU: The Supreme Court scripted history this week by deploying an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based tool to start live transcription of proceedings. The move, which is said to modernise the legal landscape using technology, has a Bengaluru connection.
Three Bengalureans, Vikas Mahendra, his brother Vinay Mahendra and brother-in-law Badarivishal Kinhal, have developed TERES (Technology Enabled RESolution), the AI engine that converted court arguments into text during live proceedings pertaining to the constitution bench hearing on the Maharashtra political controversy on Tuesday (February 21). By the end of the day, the apex court officially published the transcript on its website.
