Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Led Technological Tremors: A Seismic Shift towards Digitizing the Legal Ecosystem

Abstract

The legal ecosystem is continuously confronted with new challenges and disruptions as a result of the technological invasion initiated by cutting-edge technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics, which have taken over the world. The amalgamation of AI-enabled mechanisms and robotics into human life has elevated significant issues. This digital juggernaut cannot stay constant by the legal landscape, and some degree of assimilation is permitted to pave the way for the efficient administration of justice. The current study is significant since there is a substantial absence of legal research into the implications of AI and robotics on legal rights, which undoubtedly impacts the legal ecosystem. In this study, we have examined the significance, progress, and challenges of integrating Robotics and AI into the legal ecosystem, as they pave way for resilient legal infrastructure. Issues such as privacy, ethical grievances, data protection, confidentiality, and integrity issues are evaluated in this study. The study reviewed existing research into AI and robotics intervention in the legal ecosystem to propose a framework for addressing the increased concerns about the implications of technological apparatus in the legal ecosystem. Finally, the study concludes with recommendations that can be adopted for future work.
