‘It is a huge resource’, SC begins live transcription of its hearing

The Supreme Court on Tuesday, on an experimental basis, began using artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing technology for live transcription of its hearings.

The live transcription has been launched in the courtroom of Chief Justice of India (CJI) D.Y. Chandrachud.

Announcing the initiative, the Chief Justice said, “We’ll see how it works, especially in the constitution bench matters, because then we’ll have a permanent record of arguments…”

He further added that it helps judges and the lawyers, “but it will also help our law colleges. They can analyse how matters are argued…It is a huge resource,” said the Chief Justice.
