India's Judiciary Adopts AI Amid Challenges in Digitizing Court Records

India's judiciary is integrating AI through initiatives like 'One Case One Data' and the Su Sahay chatbot to improve case management and access to judicial information. While AI can streamline administrative tasks and organize documents, challenges remain due to unstructured, multilingual, and handwritten court records. Experts emphasize that AI cannot replace judicial reasoning, which involves nuanced human judgment balancing legal principles and social realities. The system aims to enhance efficiency without compromising the complexity of judicial deliberation.
