Supreme Court embraces Artificial Intellegence, CJI Bobde says won't let AI spill over to decision-making

Speaking at the launch of the Supreme Court of India's Artificial Intellegence portal SUPACE, CJI Bobde said AI is to intellect what muscle memory is to our mind.

The Supreme Court of India on Tuesday launched its Artificial Intelligence portal: SUPACE (Supreme Court Portal for Assistance in Courts Efficiency). Through this portal, the SC intends to leverage machine learning to deal with the vast amounts of data received at the time of filing of cases. For almost a decade now, the Supreme Court has been mulling the idea of E-courts. A draft proposal for the third phase of the E-courts project was released by the SC's E-Committee earlier this week. Justice L Nageshwara Rao, who is also the chairman of the SC's Artificial Intelligence Committee, delivered the opening address during the virtual launch of SUPACE.
