CJI Surya Kant Highlights AI's Support Role, Not Replacement of Judicial Conscience
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant stated that artificial intelligence (AI) can support judicial reasoning and administrative tasks like legal research, translation, and scheduling, but cannot replace judicial conscience or human judgment. Draft regulations from the Supreme Court's AI Committee restrict AI use in assessing witness credibility or bail eligibility. A permanent apex body is proposed to oversee AI adoption and accountability. The Indian and German judiciaries aim to deepen cooperation on digital justice and maintain judicial independence.
