Supreme Court Justice Vikram Nath cautioned against overreliance on AI in judicial decision-making, stressing that conscience must guide judges. While acknowledging AI’s utility, he warned adjudication requires empathy, discretion, and human understanding beyond algorithmic outputs or mechanical processes.
Justice Pankaj Mittal advocates for the “Indianisation” of justice, proposing that Lady Justice’s statue holds the Gita, Vedas, and Puranas alongside the Constitution. This reflects a shift towards Indian identity, emphasizing recent judicial changes like translations of judgments and the reimagining of symbols. Legal education, he notes, should foster empathy and creativity.
