S2E6 What if Indian courts used AI?

Indian courts are tricky to navigate - after all it's all humans handling the endless sea of rules, procedures and formalities. Humans who can be intelligent and compassionate. Also, humans who can be slow, and prone to mistakes and biases. But what if there was artificial intelligence (AI) to help out? In this episode, we find out: What can AI do for the Indian judiciary and what should it not? How easy would it be to have an AI-powered legal future?
