AI must strengthen, not override judiciary: CJI Surya Kant

BENGALURU: (Mar 22) CJI Justice Surya Kant on Saturday said Artificial Intelligence (AI) must be integrated into the judicial system in a manner that strengthens the institution without undermining its core functions.

He was speaking after inaugurating a one-day seminar on "Artificial Intelligence-Prevention and Resolution of Disputes" at the Karnataka Judicial Academy, organised in collaboration with the UIA India Chapter, Bar Association of India and the National Law School of India University, an official statement said.

"AI should assist in handling large volumes of data and records, identifying patterns, and reducing procedural delays. However, it must not encroach upon the core judicial function of delivering judgments," the CJI was quoted as saying.
