Chief Justice of India, Sharad Arvind Bobde on Saturday hinted at the possibility of Artificial Intelligence being developed for the court system while making it clear that it will never replace human discretion. Speaking at an event here, Bobde said, "We have a possibility of developing Artificial Intelligence for the court system. Only for the purpose of ensuring that the undue delay in justice is prevented." "I must make it clear at the outset as there are times when even judges have asked this. AI is not going to replace human judges or human discretion", he added.

AI is not going to replace human judges or human discretion", he added.

After creating waves across startups, artificial intelligence (AI) seems to have now entered the doors of justice. The Chief Justice of India, SA Bobde, has recently said that the Supreme Court has proposed to introduce a system of AI which would help in better administration of justice delivery and constitution. The CJI also made it clear that the automation would not replace humans. He said that the judiciary would continue to rely on the knowledge and wisdom of judges and the deployment of an AI integration would help reduce the number of pending cases and improve the efficiency of the judicial system. "We propose to introduce, if possible, a system of artificial intelligence. There are many things which we need to look at before we introduce ourselves. We do not want to give the impression that this is ever going to substitute the judges," said the CJI at the Constitution Day function organised by the Supreme Court Bar Association.

Justice Sharad Arvind Bobde, who will be succeeding Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi has proposed the usage of high-end technology including Artificial Intelligence in courts. Justice Bobde who will be the 47th Chief Justice of India has asserted that there may be a need for some minor changes in the justice system of the country by the inclusion of the use of technology such as artificial intelligence. "Justice delivery system is good, it might require some minor changes, including the use of technology like artificial intelligence. It's a good system, you need to use some other things," Justice Bobde told ANI. He said the justice delivery system is good, but also pressed on the need to introduce some long term and short-term measures to make the justice delivery system better.
