Using AI in policing may lead to targeting neighbourhoods of marginalised: CJI DY Chandrachud

Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud has raised concerns that using AI in policing could disproportionately target marginalized communities. In a recent discussion, he highlighted the risk of reinforcing existing biases and systemic inequalities through automated systems, which may lead to over-policing in certain neighborhoods. Caution was advised to ensure AI is deployed with measures to prevent discrimination and protect human rights. Emphasis was placed on the need for rigorous oversight and ethical guidelines to safeguard against the misuse of technology in law enforcement.
