ABSTRACT
This article explores the impact of engagement of Artificial Intelligence in the judicial system in India and its ramifications for constitutional governance. While the existing AI tools including SUPACE and SUVAS have exhibited tremendous impact in efficiency and case management, extending their role raises serious concerns regarding transparency, accountability and fairness in judicial decision-making. The article undertakes to study the risks associated with algorithmic opacity and the possibility of bias being perpetuated through dependence on historical judicial data, which may adversely affect the guarantee of equality before law under Article 14. It further studies the consequences of such technological integration on the right to fair procedure under Article 21, particularly in light of principle of reasoned decisions.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Judicial Decision Making, Algorithmic Bias, Judicial Accountability, Due Process.
