Abstract

The term artificial intelligence describes the practice of simulating human intellect by developing computer systems and algorithms. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are built to learn from information, detect patterns, and make logical conclusions or predictions. A subset of artificial intelligence called machine learning (ML) allows computers to learn from data and perform better on a given job without needing to be explicitly programmed. A major issue facing the Indian judiciary at the moment is the enormous backlog of cases that are waiting at all judicial levels, from Taluka Courts to the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India. It has recently been discussed that if early action is not done, the legal system would implode and become almost worthless. Worse than that, the general public's trust in the judicial system will be lost. Justice must be served promptly. The Honorable Supreme Court has ruled in a case that "justice postponed is justice denied." The implementation of artificial intelligence (Al) in the legal and judicial system is gaining prominence. Latest communicates have focused on the ethical and technological implications of using Al to improve justice administration in India. Following the COVID-19 epidemic, the Indian legal system is adopting Machine Learning and AI to reform the judiciary through the e-Court initiative by the Supreme Court of India's Al Committee. Al's potential use in law is becoming increasingly feasible. This paper aims to investigate the use of AI in Indian Judiciary system. In addition, the paper discusses various advantages and disadvantages of Integration of AI in India’s legal system and risks associated with AI use in Judiciary. Furthermore, the paper discusses the main issue of whether it can actually take the place of human judgment.
