Yesterday, a virtual International seminar was conducted by DY Patil Law College Pune, Maharashtra in collaboration with Ram-Krishna Law firm, Chikodi, Karnataka. The theme of the seminar was “Artificial Intelligence and Rule of Law, Challenges of Accountability, Transparency and Fairness”
During the conference several speakers discussed the emerging developments related to the Judiciary and the use of AI in drafting pleadings, Arbitrations, and even Judgements including automated settlements.
In the light of these developments discussions veered around the future.
Naavi delivering the Valedictory address acknowledged the role of AI in reducing pendency of cases in Courts but highlighted that until “Hallucination Free AI” is developed, it would be difficult to avoid fake and incorrect judgements.
Naavi also highlighted that there is a school of thought that AI has to be recognized as a juridical entity and the recent developments such as the Albanian Government appointing a Chat Bot as a Minister indicate that developments may be getting out of hand before regulations come in.
Naavi also highlighted that India opting to go for soft legislation in the form of voluntary guidelines is not effective and we need a full fledged law with appropriate deterrents and a regulatory body.
