Recently, Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud announced the Supreme Court's second hackathon, which will focus on leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the efficiency of the court's operations.

At the start of the day's proceedings, the Chief Justice of India stated that artificial intelligence will be employed to improve the efficiency of the apex court's Registry. This includes addressing issues such as the removal of defects in petitions, as well as the formatting and sorting of judicial records.

Justice Chandrachud announced that the Supreme Court's hackathon, held in conjunction with the 75th anniversary of the court's establishment, will be organized in collaboration with the Centre’s ‘MyGov’ application.

"This time the hackathon will focus on use of AI to streamline the functioning of the Registry (of the SC) for things like removal of defects and formatting and sorting of petitions. So we are completely moving to an AI-based model. I request all the innovative young minds to please participate... Last date to submit is August 31 and the assessment will be done on September 14," he said.

"All innovative young minds should participate. By young minds, I do not mean young in age,” the CJI said in a lighter vein.

A hackathon, often referred to as a "codefest," is a collaborative event where computer programmers and other enthusiasts come together to develop or enhance software programs. It serves as a platform for social coding and innovation.
