Speaking at a discussion on “Technology and the Future of Mediation” hosted by the Indian High Commission in London and moderated by Advocate Tanvi Dubey, the Chief Justice said AI was already helping speed up mediation through data analysis, issue identification, virtual platforms and other technological tools.
He, however, cautioned against treating AI as a substitute for mediators.
“Mediation involves a lot of pure human exercise,” the Chief Justice said.
He added that a successful mediator must apply both “mind” and “heart”, and warned against efforts to use AI to predict whether mediation would succeed.
