Tech for Justice
Introduction
Adalat.ai was incubated at MIT and Oxford, based on research conducted at MIT, Harvard, and Oxford. We strive to provide AI and LLM powered technological solutions to courts and judicial systems in India to tackle widespread backlogs and delays.
Problem
Judicial systems in India and other developing countries suffer from severe backlogs and delays. Undertials langush in jail for decades, litigants expend a lot of time, costs, and energy in accessing the courts, and lawyers are handicapped in assisting their clients seek justice. This affects economic growth and developments as economic agents don't trust courts with dispute resolution and contract enforcement, human rights violations get exacerbated, and the process becomes the punishment. Justice, if delieved, is very delayed, and hence, denied.
Opportunity
We are currently piloting an AI-based voice transcription software that supports court stenographers with typing depositions, examinations and cross-examinations of witnesses, orders dictated in court, and judgments prepared in chambers in partnership with 4 different state High Courts of India. Unlike other transcription services that are expensive and generic, ours will be tailored on a rich glossary of legal terms and Indian pronunciations and targeted for court usage.
