Artificial Intelligence in the Indian Judiciary: A Legal Analysis

The integration of technology into judicial systems has become increasingly significant in modern legal administration. In India, the judiciary continues to face challenges such as case backlog, procedural delays, and administrative inefficiencies. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a technological tool capable of assisting courts in managing large volumes of legal information and improving the efficiency of judicial processes. This article examines the role of Artificial Intelligence in the Indian judiciary and evaluates its potential in areas such as legal research, case management, and court administration. It also analyses the legal and ethical concerns associated with the use of AI in judicial functions, including issues of transparency, bias, and accountability. The article concludes that while Artificial Intelligence can enhance efficiency within the justice delivery system, it must function as an assistive mechanism under judicial supervision to ensure fairness, accountability, and adherence to constitutional principles.
