An Exploratory Research to Analyze Scope of AI-Integration in Legal System and its Probable Challenges with the Way Forward

Abstract

In this era of technological revolution, role and incorporation of Artificial Intelligence cannot be denied in any field of life. Use of AI has facilitated human beings in their routine work with increased precision, accuracy and efficacy in managing and regulating the things. From detection and treatment of disease in healthcare profession to detection of financial frauds and conversion of man-driven vehicles to autonomous automobiles, the AI has transformed our lives. Judiciary is not an exception to this rapidly increasing AI-incorporated practices. It is being observed that Artificial Intelligence is also being integrated in routine judicial tasks including administrative as well as procedural work. This research paper is intended to highlight the scope of AI in the legal system, to explore innovative tools and applications which can be employed and to identify specific areas where regular functions of the system can be improvised through this advanced technology. At the end of the research, a few drawbacks have also been pointed out which may create challenges if not addressed properly. Qualitative research methodology has been used with analytical approach and the relevant information has been collected from secondary sources. The research has been concluded signifying the importance of seeking assistance from Artificial Intelligence in order to increase efficiency and expediency of judicial system, along with certain solution to minimize the risk factors.
