Abstract

The huge pendency of cases is a reason of worry and to address this, different actions are being taken like more preference to ADR mechanisms and rejection of obsolete laws, however apart from these conventional ways of trying to address the problem, using the newly discovered field of Artificial Intelligence to adapt up to this problem is yet unexplored and would prove to bring about a transformational change in the system of judiciary. Since courts and judicial system in India are now experiencing a phenomenal change by going computerized, the developing field called 'Artificial Intelligence' often touted as the fourth industrial revolution may help in reducing the huge backlog of pending cases. Some of the developed countries of the world like the U.S and Canada have already used AI in their judicial system say to grant bail or to decide whether to grant parole or not. This won't just spare legal time of the courts prompting better use of taxpayers’ money but also reduce the possible biasness that the judges have sometimes. As Artificial Intelligence has just demonstrated its value in various fields, for example, medicine by assisting doctors in conducting surgeries, transportation in the shape of self-driving cars, marketing by tracking consumer buying patterns,and so on., it will be a boon to guarantee sustainable and speedy justice delivery system. The objective of this study is to examine the extent to which AI can be utilized by the courts in India while maintaining the highest standards of judicial independence and acumen.
