Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into various industries has been a game-changer, and the legal profession is no exception. As artificial intelligence (AI) systems are being increasingly integrated into various sectors, the question of liability for errors made by these systems has emerged as a significant legal issue. The paper explores the complexities of assigning liabilities when AI systems malfunction or produce erroneous outputs. It examines existing legal frameworks and proposes potential models for liability, including the roles of developers, users, and manufacturers as well as examines the impact of these technologies on traditional legal roles and the broader implications for the future of law. With AI systems capable of performing tasks such as document review, legal research, and even predictive analysis, with higher efficiency and lesser time, the demand for certain legal jobs are diminishing. This evolution is prompting a re-evaluation of the skills required for legal practice, with an emphasis on technological proficiency and interdisciplinary knowledge. The paper also explores the ethical and regulatory challenges posed by AI in the legal field, advocating for adaptive strategies to ensure that legal professionals can navigate and thrive in this changing landscape. This paper also presents a comparative analysis of the utilization and safety measures of AI in the judiciary on an international field. It identifies the key areas where India lags in adopting AI technologies for judicial processes and ensuring their safe implementation.
