New Delhi: With impressive advances having been made in artificial intelligence (AI), the Indian judiciary has been early to adopt it too. Soon, AI will be tailored for the justice delivery system, playing a vital role in improving administrative efficiency in courts, and aiding in decision-making processes for lawyers, judges and litigants. But how could robots decide questions of law and extract the accurate position of law from a mass of precedents?
According to a strategy paper published by Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy, an independent think-tank, the integration of AI in justice system requires a comprehensive legal, regulatory, and ethical framework to establish trust in these technologies. The paper proposes a roadmap to integrate AI in the justice system.

For Class VII student Tejasvi Raj, doing his daily homework comes with the double challenge of being a visually impaired student in the COVID-19 era of virtual schooling. His screen reading software can’t access the PowerPoint presentation that his teachers had prepared for online school. E-textbooks provided on the government’s virtual platform DIKSHA, which it has promoted as a transformative resource for digital education, are not fully accessible either.

The Supreme Court e-committee last week issued a draft Digital Courts Vision and Roadmap, drawn up by a sub-committee of experts consisting of Agami, Daksh and the Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy. The three NGOs are funded by a mix of Indian philanthropists ranging from the Nilekani Philanthropies to Tata Trusts to Tree of Life Foundation, amongst others.
The vision document in question is meant to deal with Phase III of the e-courts project, which is administered by the Supreme Court’s e-committee and funded largely by Parliament. Since its conception in 2004, the Supreme Court’s e-committee has overseen the expenditure of approximately Rs 1,300 crores of public money on the e-courts project with little to no oversight. In the last 17 years, there has been only one external evaluation of the entire project commissioned by the government – and even that was a hurried job.
