IIT Delhi launches AI Lab for judiciary
Recently, IIT Delhi launched the Universal Justice Foundation (UJF) lab facility on artificial intelligence for the judiciary, which was inaugurated by Justice S Ravindra Bhat.
This is the second time that the institute has undertaken an initiative for the legal domain, with the first being the establishment of a Centre of Excellence for Law and Technology.
AI-based tools can also streamline and accelerate the management of case-flows and bridge the existing gaps in the judiciary. The use of AI can serve as a support system for legal personnel, boosting their decision-making processes and operations.
Technology has already made its way into courts and has significantly improved data management. It has also replaced the otherwise time-consuming paper process. The new lab facility at IIT Delhi will make more such innovations.
Rajat Khare, an IIT Delhi alumnus, said, “The legal sector is undergoing a massive transformation, more so amid the pandemic. Thus, embracing new-age technologies like AI and machine learning has become the need of the hour.”
