India, in the recent past, has made much progress in the creation of tools, methods, and technologies to create legal knowledge and use it for legal or justice delivery systems. Some use cases are legal text summarisation, fact-search/identification, court administration, precedent retrieval, contract analysis and argument mining. For instance, post the establishment of an Artificial Intelligence committee by the Supreme Court of India, three AI tools have been launched – SUPACE, SUVACE and SCI-Interact. However, while these tools will significantly impact justice delivery in India, there is not enough information available on either of these. For instance, which specific datasets these AI tools rely on, who is building these datasets, who is part of the AI committee, or how these datasets are being annotated, is not known publicly.
The said questions become much more important keeping in view the complex, noisy and unstructured characteristics of legal documents in India.
