ABSTRACT:

In these contemporary years, there has been a growing trend towards the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), to assist the development of procedures related to judicial management and make the same more systematic, expeditious and comprehensive. Alas, such expanding use of AI- aided instruments in the judicial governance, results in many constitutional disputes because of the deficiency of an intelligible reasoning behind the AI’s advices or resolutions that might have a considerable impact on the legal decisions. This paper will look into the idea of Explainable Artificial Intelligence, focus on the need for the constitutional reforms and will traverse whether, black-box AI systems can be used in the Indian Legal System from the context of constitutional ideas. It contends that, transparency and ratio decidendi are not only essential for the procedural law but, also to uphold the idea of natural justice, rule of law and to fulfill the essentials of Article 14 and 21 of the Indian Constitution. Through an ideological and relative research of ideals of the Constitution, judicial principles and developing routes to AI management, the study explores whether misty or “black-box” AI systems can be lawfully integrated in judicial procedures. The paper asserts that, there is no doubt that, AI serves as an effective tool but still, its usage in judicial adjudication must be done in accordance with accountability and relevant determination. It concludes that, reasoned justice is a right and increases the importance of adopting strong and protective barriers to support technological development, rather than eat away the constitutional ideas and trust of the public in the justice system.

Keywords: Explainable Artificial Intelligence, Judicial Decision-Making, Reasoned Justice, Constitutional Law, Natural Justice.
