In a democracy, there is a duty to protect the rights of all citizens. This includes enabling each one to secure justice, a right protected under Article 39A of the Constitution of India and several of our laws. The efficiency of Courts also impacts the economy. Here is a case for using technology to help achieve justice speedily.
Our daily lives have changed dramatically in the last 30 years. Transacting over the Internet began in the early 1990s. The mid-nineties saw the commercial use of the Internet begin to increase dramatically with ecommerce sites like Amazon. Recognizable social media sites started with Six Degrees followed by MySpace and LinkedIn in the early 2000s. PayPal began online payment services in 1998. YouTube starting in 2005, and by 2006, Facebook and Twitter became available to users throughout the world. Today, living one’s daily lives without using the Internet seems impossible.
The use of technology has transformed from collating databases, to processing and applying information for performing a multitude of intelligent tasks.
India now has the second-highest number of internet users in the world after China. The Indian Government is increasingly using information technology for multiple Government functions, largely revolving around communication.
Along with the growth of the internet, social media has become a powerful tool for influencing opinions, in addition to instantaneous communication to groups of people. There are now thousands of online payment and banking services. Education and entertainment are increasingly being imparted over online platforms. Google has successfully used algorithms to put it way ahead of other search engines. Online gaming, including games of skill such as chess and bridge, are being played at sophisticated levels by computer programs. Robotics, artificial intelligence, blockchain and big data are the buzzwords of the day, and IBM Watson could be your new lawyer!
