CJI Justice Surya Kant has said that AI must be integrated into the judicial system in a manner that strengthens the institution without undermining its core functions. ADVERTISEMENTHowever, he said, "It must not encroach upon the core judicial function of delivering judgments," according to a release. The Chief Justice cautioned that allowing AI tools to dominate decision-making could compromise transparency and accountability within the justice delivery system. Emphasising the role of technology as an enabler, he said AI should function only as a tool. "AI should function only as a tool or pathway, while the direction must always be determined by human intellect," he said.
