Overview
UPSC cares about the ethical, legal, and societal implications of emerging technologies, especially their impact on fundamental pillars of governance like the judiciary. It tests candidates' understanding of how technology can be leveraged responsibly while safeguarding constitutional principles and ensuring justice.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. Its application in the justice delivery system involves using AI tools for tasks like legal research, document review, and predictive analytics, aiming to enhance efficiency and access to justice, while also posing significant ethical and practical challenges.
