'Technology Must Complement, Not Replace, Human Mind In Judicial Decision-Making': CJI Gavai
The CJI said that complex legal issues often require an understanding of human context, societal implications, and ethical dilemmas that AI, in its current form, cannot fully grasp Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai delivered a keynote address on the 'Role of Technology in the Indian Legal System" at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London. His speech emphasised that technology should complement, not replace, the human element in judicial decision-making. The CJI highlighted the irreplaceable value of discretion, empathy, and nuanced judicial interpretation. While acknowledging the transformative potential of technological advancements, he delineated clear boundaries for their application within the judiciary. 'Though the judiciary welcomes innovations like automated cause lists, digital kiosks, and virtual assistants," he stated, 'it must ensure that human oversight, ethical guidelines, and robust training are integral to their implementation." This perspective reflects a cautious yet progressive stance. The Indian judiciary has indeed embraced various technological advancements to enhance efficiency and accessibility. Automated cause lists streamline case management, digital kiosks improve public access to information, and virtual assistants aid in administrative tasks. However, the CJI's address underscored the fundamental difference between processing information and exercising judgment. He elaborated that complex legal issues often require an understanding of human context, societal implications, and ethical dilemmas that artificial intelligence, in its current form, cannot fully grasp. Judicial interpretation frequently involves delving into legislative intent, societal norms, and the unique circumstances of each case, demanding human reasoning, ethical considerations, and a capacity for empathy that transcends algorithmic processing. 'Technology must complement, not replace, the human mind in judicial decision-making," the CJI said, adding, 'The emphasis must always be on using technology to enhance trust and transparency—never to replace the human conscience at the heart of justice." The CJI's remarks signal that while technology can vastly improve the procedural aspects of justice delivery, making processes faster, more transparent, and accessible, the ultimate responsibility and the nuanced decision-making power must remain firmly with human judges.

Can't club terror-backers with victims: EAM Jaishankar to UK's Lammy
NEW DELHI: While thanking his visiting UK counterpart David Lammy for the strong condemnation of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, external affairs minister S Jaishankar told him India will never countenance perpetrators of evil being put at par with its victims. India follows a policy of zero tolerance against terrorism and expects its partners to understand it, Jaishankar told Lammy who visited Pakistan last month welcoming "sustained ceasefire between Pakistan and India, both important partners to the UK". Lammy became the first UK foreign secretary to visit Pakistan since 2021. India doesn't use the word ceasefire and has strongly denied that the US or any other country had a role to play in the cessation of military hostilities between India and Pakistan last month. Lammy also called on PM Narendra Modi and strongly condemned the Pahalgam attack, expressing support for India's fight against cross border terrorism. Modi underscored the need for a decisive international action against terrorism and those who support it, according to an Indian readout. He later said in a post on X that he valued UK's support for India's fight against cross-border terrorism. Lammy later told Reuters without elaborating that India and the UK are discussing "next steps" in counterterrorism measures, while acknowledging terrorism designed to destabilise India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thousands Are Saving Money Using This Wall Plug elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Click Here Undo I n the meeting, Modi expressed satisfaction at the successful conclusion of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement and welcomed the deepening of the India-UK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
