Abstract
This article examines the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within India's judicial system and its implications for access to justice and judicial accountability. It examines contemporary AI uses within India's legal profession, including case management systems, predictive analytics, and AI-enhanced legal research. The research investigates AI regulations within the judiciary, emphasising the challenges related to transparency, fairness, and accountability. It rigorously examines ethical issues such as algorithmic prejudice and the imperative for human supervision. A comparative analysis of AI application in the legal systems of the United States, the United Kingdom, and China is presented, providing insights that may inform India's strategy. The paper concludes with policy suggestions aimed at fostering the judicious implementation of AI within the judicial system. It underscores the significance of transparency, accountability, and ongoing oversight to uphold public trust and guarantee equitable legal outcomes. This paper suggests a balanced approach to integrating AI into the evolving landscape of legal technology, ensuring the preservation of judicial integrity.
