Is AI a More Sustainable Option Than Human Intelligence In Delivering Faster And Effective Justice In India?

Artificial intelligence is believed to have the ability to function and perform like that of human intelligence and possess the capability of reasoning, arguing, perceiving and acting rationally. We can say to an extent it can imitate all human functioning but this belief in itself is paradoxical. As we talk about it on the global platform itself, the views are bifurcated some believe it as next disruptive technology which would lead to development and growth whereas some hold the view that it may lead to job losses and increase unemployment. Researches have been made on AI towards developing such machines which can imitate human cognitive and logical skills. Many countries have already adopted AI in judicial litigations, according to CEPEJ and the court administration of Latvia held a conference on "Artificial Intelligence" at the service of the judiciary, on 27th Sep 2018, it formed a platform which collaborated representatives of the academic world, professional justices, from different European countries to discuss the relevance of AI in the judicial arena, to ensure delivery of improved quality of justices, while maintaining the key fundamental principles and further highlighted the directives on which application of AI will be based upon in judicial system.
