New Delhi, Feb 21: For the first time, the Supreme Court of India is set to utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) and technology powered by Natural Language Processing to provide live transcriptions of its hearings.
At 10:30 AM, live transcription began in Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud’s courtroom on an experimental basis. The case involving the Maharashtra power struggle is being heard by a Constitution Bench that is led by the Chief Justice of India.
In Court Room 1, in front of the attorneys, a screen showing the live transcription of court events has been installed. Also, it is acknowledged that the Supreme Court will provide transcripts of oral arguments on its website.
The transcription service is being provided by TERES, a business that has been giving arbitrators this option.
Senior Advocate Indira Jaising had earlier suggested permitting audio transcripts of hearings to be archived in her petition pushing for live-streaming of significant cases. These recommendations were recorded by a Bench led by CJI Chandrachud in January of this year.
