MY? TAKE :
?
Dear Hon Shri Chandrachudji,
?
Only a couple of days back, you said :
“ As far as use of latest technology is concerned, judges do not have an option “
The above- reported MOU spells out the scope / span of those technologies , as described at :
?
???Justice delayed is Justice Denied??…………………………….??12??Sept??2018

Following are comments from?BARD?on the feasibility of my suggestions :
?
I read your blog post and I think the additional features you suggested are all
feasible with the help of AI software.
·??????????????????Automatic document classification?can help to speed up the process of case management by automatically sorting documents into relevant categories. This can save time for lawyers and judges, who can then focus on more important task
?
·??????????????????Automatic case management?can help to track the progress of cases and ensure that deadlines are met. This can help to reduce delays in the court system and improve the efficiency of case management.
?
·??????????????????Real-time translation?can help to ensure that all parties involved in a case can understand each other, regardless of their language. This can help to improve communication and reduce misunderstandings.

·??????????????????Facial recognition?can be used to verify the identity of participants in a virtual court hearing. This can help to prevent fraud and ensure that the right people are involved in the case.
?
·??????????????????Natural language processing?can be used to analyze legal documents and extract relevant information. This can help lawyers to research cases more quickly and efficiently.
I think these additional features would be a valuable addition to virtual courts and would help to streamline the process of delivering justice.
I am excited to see how AI software is used to improve the court system in the future.
In addition to the features you mentioned, I think AI software could also be used to:
Generate transcripts of court hearings, which would make it easier for people to review the?proceedings after the fact.
Provide real-time feedback to lawyers and judges, helping them to make better decisions.
Identify potential bias?in the court system, and help to mitigate it.
I believe that AI has the potential to revolutionize the court system, and I am excited to see how it is used to improve the delivery of justice in the years to come.
