Judging the Machine: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Indian Judiciary and Privacy Rights

 

Abstract

This article examines the intersection of artificial intelligence and the constitutional right to privacy in India, analyzing emerging challenges and proposing novel legal frameworks for the digital age. Drawing from extensive jurisprudential analysis and contemporary developments, this study explores how AI technologies challenge traditional privacy paradigms while simultaneously transforming India's legal landscape. The article presents new perspectives on algorithmic constitutionalism, quantum-era privacy rights, and the emergence of "digital dignity" as a fundamental concept. It proposes innovative regulatory approaches including algorithmic auditing mandates, AI-specific constitutional amendments, and hybrid public-private governance models. Special emphasis is placed on analyzing how artificial intelligence will fundamentally reshape judicial decision-making processes, examining both the promises and perils of algorithmic assistance in courts. The research demonstrates that India's legal system must evolve beyond traditional privacy concepts to address AI-driven challenges while preserving constitutional values of dignity, equality, and liberty.
