AI Can Assist Courts, Not Replace Human Judgment: Justice Vikram Nath

• Justice Vikram Nath states AI can augment the judicial system but cannot replace judges in delivering judgments.
• He emphasized that the core responsibility of deciding cases and writing judgments must remain with judges.
• AI cannot handle the complexity of cases like matrimonial disputes, commercial settlements, or constitutional/criminal issues due to lack of fixed datasets and human nuance.
• Justice A G Masih and Senior advocate Sajan Poovayya echoed concerns, highlighting that AI lacks human conscience and can generate inaccuracies (hallucinations).
• Delhi High Court Chief Justice D K Upadhyay noted AI's growing integration in judicial governance globally but cautioned about manipulated digital evidence and the need for forensic tests.
