Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in the Indian Judiciary is gaining rapid momentum, promising substantial benefits in streamlining processes, reducing costs, and improving overall efficiency within the justice delivery system. However, the deployment of AI has also sparked discussions surrounding its dependability, potential biases, and influence on judicial rulings, garnering attention from legal experts and the general public alike. This study explores these concerns and delves into the practical implementation of AI for the Indian Judiciary. By conducting an in-depth analysis of relevant studies and research, the study examines the perceptions of legal professionals, litigants, and the general public regarding the application of AI in the justice delivery system. The study further evaluates the impact of AI on judges' decision-making and scrutinises the potential risks related to AI software bugs. Additionally, a comprehensive assessment of existing AI research papers in the legal domain is presented, with specific emphasis on AI chatbots developed to assist lawyers. The findings from this study offer valuable insights for policymakers, legal practitioners, and AI developers aiming to responsibly integrate AI technologies to enhance legal processes and ensure easy access to the justice delivery system. By addressing challenges and prioritising transparency, AI can augment human decision-making rather than replace it, ultimately fostering a more equitable and efficient justice system.
