The chief judge asked the AI ​​lawyer a question about the death penalty, see his answer

It appears that artificial intelligence (AI) has become an omnipresent entity, taking over jobs almost everywhere, including courtrooms. In a first-of-its-kind conversation, Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud on Thursday interacted with an artificial intelligence lawyer at the inauguration ceremony of the National Judicial Museum and Archives (NJMA) at the Supreme Court.

Chandrachud asked AI’s lawyer whether death penalty is constitutional in India.

“Yes, death penalty is constitutional in India. It is reserved for the rarest of cases as determined by the Supreme Court, where the crime is exceptionally heinous and warrants such punishment,” replied the AI ​​lawyer, dressed in a lawyer’s coat, amusing Chandrachud and other lawyers present at the event.

Chandrachud has previously spoken about the capabilities of AI, advocating the technology’s use for “delivery of justice” as well.

At the time of the museum’s opening, he said: “The concept and planning took almost a year and a half. The actual implementation took about six months.”

“This was done in record time. We thought that we should have not just a museum of artifacts, but a museum comparable to the best in the world to demonstrate the importance of our institution and the High Courts in delivering justice to our citizens and in protecting fundamental values.” the rights of our citizens,” he added.

Chandrachud is due to retire as the 50th Chief Justice of India on November 10 and will be succeeded by Justice Sanjeev Khanna.
