Abstract

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies presents both opportunities and challenges for the legal landscape in India. As AI systems increasingly permeate various sectors, the Indian legal system must adapt to this technological transformation. This paper examines the potential role of AI in shaping the future of law in India, focusing on its impact on legal research, dispute resolution, contract analysis, and law enforcement. It explores the ethical, regulatory, and societal implications of integrating AI into the legal profession, considering issues of accountability, transparency, and bias. The paper also assesses India's preparedness in adopting AI in legal processes, highlighting existing gaps in infrastructure, education, and policy. Furthermore, it proposes frameworks for harmonizing AI technology with legal practices while ensuring justice, fairness, and compliance with human rights. Ultimately, the paper envisions a future where AI enhances the efficiency and accessibility of legal services in India while preserving the core values of the legal system.
