Need to balance AI-driven judicial transformation with constitutional values: CJI Surya Kant

Noting that courts could not remain untouched by the rapid transformation brought about by technology, Chief Justice of India Surya Kant has called for embracing digitalisation and artificial intelligence in the justice system while ensuring that technological advancement does not dilute the constitutional values of dignity, equality, liberty and fairness.

Addressing the opening session of the 7th Congress of the Association of Asian Constitutional Courts (AACC) in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, CJI Kant said, “Technology is changing the way our societies function. It is changing the way governments deliver services, businesses operate and citizens interact with public institutions. Courts, too, cannot remain untouched by this transformation.”
