India Introduces AI 'Robo Judges' to Speed Up Court Cases
India is starting to use Artificial Intelligence, or AI, to help judges make decisions in court.
These 'robo judges' are not real judges, but tools that help speed up the work.
They'll assist with cases like small crimes, traffic tickets, and land disputes.
The AI will help judges look up information, but the judges will still make the final calls.
Judges are being trained on how to use this new technology, including some who are going abroad to learn from countries where AI has already been tested.
AI has been used in other countries, and India is studying their approaches.
The goal is to make courts work faster and more efficiently.
India is introducing AI tools, referred to as 'robo judges', to assist in court case processing.
The AI will assist judges in cases related to petty crimes, traffic violations, and land disputes.
Judges will continue to make the final decisions.
Judges are being trained to use these AI systems, with some training in Singapore.
AI in courts has led to a reduction in pending cases and faster processing in some cities.
