We propose to introduce, if possible, a system of artificial intelligence. There are many things which we need to look at before we introduce ourselves. We do not want to give the impression that this is ever going to substitute the judges, said the CJI at the Constitution Day function organised by the Supreme Court Bar Association.

Reiterating how automation would not take away jobs, Justice Bobde said the law functions in a uniquely complex environment that lawyers and judges are best placed to navigate. He also said that the authorities would continue to use human translators to validate and correct the output of the AI-based translation tools.

He also said that more than 24K startups have come up since 2015 out of which more than 10K are startups on information technology.
