Artificial Intelligence help reduce backlog of pending Cases: Union Law Minister

• Artificial intelligence, according to Law Minister Kiren Rijiju, could help in "surprising ways" to maintain sustainable justice delivery and reduce the backlog of pending cases.

• He said artificial intelligence (AI) can help in implementing court management tools like case flow management, case management clearance rates, online information of case laws, and automated algorithm-based support system, which can all add to the efficiency of judicial functioning, in a closing session of a Supreme Court-organized 2-day Constitution Day event here.

• Since India's courts are already undergoing a digital transition, the burgeoning realm of artificial intelligence could help in unexpected ways to ensure long-term justice delivery and reduce the backlog of pending cases, according to the Minister.
