The wheels of justice need to keep rotating. If a spoke gets loose, the entire machinery is taken for a toss and leads to justice not reaching the needy at a time when needed. Due to delay in disposal of cases by the Indian judiciary, AI has become an important talking point. Judiciary in some parts of developed countries like U.S.A and Canada has already deployed AI systems to assist the judges on taking a call on matters like granting of bail and release of offenders on parole. The rapid technological changes and computational power available in AI have made the judiciary embrace it. As Artificial Intelligence has already proved its worth in different fields such as medicine by assisting doctors in conducting surgeries, transportation in the shape of self-driving cars, marketing by tracking consumer buying patterns, etc., it will definitely be a blessing to ensure sustainable and speedy justice delivery system. Therefore, use of Artificial Intelligence in decision making in courts is a viable solution for bringing down the pendency of cases not only in India but also in other jurisdictions and ensuring speedy and sustainable justice delivery systems across the world. However,unambiguously stating that judicial artificial intelligence is never a replacement for human judges is crucial. The study aims to investigate the relationship between AI and Indian judicial system, investigating significant implications, benefits and obstacles when these two areas merge.By emphasizing the improvement of efficiency, precision and ethical concerns this piece explores the potential for AI to bring about transformative changes in different facets of the Indian judicial system.
