Mishi Choudhary & Associates in associated with the Editorial Board, RGNUL Student Research Review has rolled out a blog series on Artificial Intelligence to spread awareness among law students, academicians, and professionals and welcome their contribution to the upcoming edition<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The RGNUL Student Research Review Journal is a bi-annual, student-run, blind peer reviewed journal based at Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab. It is the flagship journal managed by the students of the University. It was founded with the objective of facilitating novel ideas and a research conducive environment. RSRR has also come out with its Blog Series which publishes blogs on different contemporary issues of law. The RSRR Blog Series was named one of the top 35 Constitutional Law Blogs by Feedspot. It has been chosen from thousands of options based upon the relevance and influence of the blog, among other factors.

Artificial Intelligence, commonly known as AI, uses computer programs, sophisticated statistics and algorithms to solve problems and automate tasks which, if done by humans, would be considered intelligent. AI is not confined within the bounds of science-fiction literature. It is gradually infiltrating our world and is destined to transform different aspects of our lives. As the field of law is slowly moving towards digitization from its traditional setup, AI has penetrated the legal field as well. AI can help lawyers by increasing their efficiency to deal with mundane tasks. For instance, Advanced Natural Language Processing capabilities are used by AI to review and redline contracts with increased accuracy. Sophisticated AI enabled software programs, such as ROSS Intelligence, can make legal research easier. Such softwares have application even in sectors like the Agricultural Sector, for crop and soil monitoring, and the Aviation sector, for creating computer simulated pilots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the emergence of AI raises several epistemic questions about fairness, accountability, transparency, and independent rights and responsibilities of the technology itself. Few white papers, such as the Report on the Artificial Intelligence Task Force and NITI Aayog\u2019s National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence, have discussed the impact of AI on different sectors and delved into these questions. It remains to be seen whether AI will disrupt the legal profession or aid in the advancement of the field. The capacity of AI to form a contract, the criminal liability of AI and the possibility of AI replacing lawyers are issues that concern legal practitioners and law framers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has been forced into a digital ground. Due to this, our dependence on AI has substantially increased and will continue to increase. The inexplicability of the algorithms and their working makes attribution of liability a difficult task. Huge legislative vacuum pervades, internationally as well as in India, which further creates a strenuous atmosphere for the growth of this disruptive technology. Owing to the lack of laws related to AI and multiple privacy concerns arising thereto, venturing into this arena would require thorough research and academic discussions. Therefore, this Blog Series aims to critically analyse legal and regulatory policy considerations for AI and law, as well as explore possible hurdles and challenges, in order to create a safe transition to an era characterized by AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
