The Supreme Court is hosting a two-day conference on technology and dialogue, with a particular focus on the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in the judiciary, between the apex courts of India and Singapore on April 13 and 14, 2024.

A press release issued by the top court stated that the conference aims to explore the intersection of technology and the legal system.

“The Chief Justice of India, Justice D Y Chandrachud, and Chief Justice of Singapore, Justice Sundaresh Menon, alongside judges, jurists, and experts will engage in dynamic panel discussions covering a wide array of topics related to AI and its implications for the legal system. These topics include its potential to assist court proceedings, its role in judicial training, improving access to justice, ethical considerations surrounding its use, and the future of AI,” it stated.

The release highlighted that the conference will serve as a platform for sharing insights, best practices, and innovative ideas to foster a deeper understanding of how AI can enhance judicial processes and promote access to justice.

It further stated that the event will encourage meaningful dialogue and collaboration, paving the way for future advancements in the intersection of technology and law.
