Kerala HC accelerates adoption of AI systems

Kochi: An artificial intelligence (AI) system that will create case files based on the audio recordings of litigants is about to be introduced by the Kerala High Court.

The court's IT department is building this facility internally, and this new invention is only one of many ground-breaking projects they are working on.

This new facility comes close on the heels after both the High Court and district courts employed 'Anuvadini', an AI tool developed by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) of the Ministry of Education, to translate judgments of the High Court and district courts to Malayalam.

Using this tool, over 317 High Court judgments and over 5,136 district court judgments have already been translated from English to Malayalam and uploaded on the websites of the respective courts.

The IT initiative is headed by a three-member team of Judges A. Muhamed Mustaque, V. Raja Vijayaraghavan and Kauser Edappagath.

Another initiative on the anvil is a proposal to share translated versions of judgments with the Legal Service Authority for imparting legal education and awareness to various government departments and other stakeholders, including litigants.
