Context :
The Supreme Court has
signed a Memorandum of Understanding with IIT Madras for the collaboration on using Artificial
Intelligence and other emerging technologies for improving court proceedings
and access to justice
An official statement from the Supreme Court
said that the apex court under the leadership of the chief justice of India, DY Chandrachud is driving
technological enhancements in making its process:
Ø AUTOMATED ,
Ø USER FRIENDLY
Ø CITIZEN-CENTRIC
- to enhance access to justice
The Supreme Court of
India and IIT Madras will be collaborating on using AI and emerging
technologies for :
Ø Transcription Tools
Ø Summarization of Page Transcripts
Ø Translation tools
Ø Exclusive streaming
platforms for court trials
Ø Process automation
Ø Large language models
for the legal domain.
The collaboration which will focus on :
# Leveraging AI
tools in capacity building and training,
#
Creating
an e-Learning Platform
#
ICT
skill development courses
It is a significant leap forward in the
incorporation of artificial intelligence and technology to enhance the efficiency, accessibility and capacity building of the legal domain.
The MoU is aimed to
facilitate the digital transformation of the Indian judiciary, aligning it with the
vision for a more efficient and technologically advanced legal ecosystem to
improve access to justice.
MY TAKE :
Dear Hon Shri
Chandrachudji,
Only a couple of days back, you said
:
“ As far as use of latest
technology is concerned, judges do not have an option “
The above- reported MOU spells
out the scope / span of those technologies , as described at :
Ø Justice delayed
is Justice Denied ……………………………. 12 Sept 2018
Extract :
Following are comments from BARD on the
feasibility of my suggestions :
I read your blog post and I
think the additional features you suggested are all
feasible with the help of AI
software.
· Automatic document classification can
help to speed up the process of case management by automatically sorting
documents into relevant categories. This can save time for lawyers and judges,
who can then focus on more important task
· Automatic case management can help to
track the progress of cases and ensure that deadlines are met. This can help to
reduce delays in the court system and improve the efficiency of case
management.
· Real-time translation can help to ensure
that all parties involved in a case can understand each other, regardless of
their language. This can help to improve communication and reduce
misunderstandings.
· Facial recognition can be used to verify
the identity of participants in a virtual court hearing. This can help to
prevent fraud and ensure that the right people are involved in the case.
· Natural language processing can be used
to analyze legal documents and extract relevant information. This can help
lawyers to research cases more quickly and efficiently.
I think these additional features would be a valuable addition to
virtual courts and would help to streamline the process of delivering justice.
I am excited to see how AI software is used to improve the court system
in the future.
In addition to the features you mentioned, I think AI software could
also be used to:
Generate
transcripts of court hearings, which would make it easier
for people to review the proceedings after the fact.
Provide real-time
feedback to lawyers and judges, helping them to make better
decisions.
Identify potential
bias in the court system, and help
to mitigate it.
I believe that AI has the potential
to revolutionize the court system, and I am excited to see how it is used to
improve the delivery of justice in the years to come.
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
