These codes are written in an artificial style, which enables decisions to be made faster than humans can blink. Or do these invisible codes know how to crack the code of human life? Who knows what? —- Let’s go deeper with the mechanisms, legal ethics and find out the mystery of codes written in artificial intelligence. These algorithms are not confined to science fiction tales or hypothetical ideas. Now tasks such as loan application, education, filtering job applications, and picking catchy ideas can be performed in a more reliable way. Economic, social, and legal problems can be addressed and reshaped with the help of artificial intelligence. But one question looms large: Who bears the cost of human rights and technological efficiency at what rate? If this system quietly influences public life. Delivering this codified Justice to my patience in a more proven way often discriminates against human efficiency and reflects real-world inequalities. This also raises questions about our fundamental rights, how safe and far we can go in this algorithmic age if there are no checks & balances, AI scrutiny or no accountability and transparency. KEYWORDS : Artificial Intelligence, Digital Rights, Algorithmic Injustice, AI Accountability, and Data Privacy. INTRODUCTION : The father of artificial intelligence, McCarthy, coined the phrase artificial intelligence in a Dartmouth summer research project on Artificial Intelligence in 1956 as the founding event of Artificial Intelligence. Definition of Artificial Intelligence according to the Oxford Learner’s Dictionary as “ the study and development of computer systems that can copy intelligent human behaviour”. Artificial intelligence is a tool of computer science which is developed in such a way that can perform human-driven tasks independently, such as the ability to think, solve complex problems, understand situations, and act on its own as humans do, however, at a faster rate. Artificial intelligence is introduced to sustain the fast life of humans and is being used to figure out and assess the real-world complex challenges with reduced human errors. Artificial intelligence helps in many ways, such as providing adequate relief in natural disasters through tracking locations for rescue, real-time monitoring, and resource allocation. At the time of an emergency, it offers user-friendly environments for the students to complete their studies without relocating elsewhere. Coca-Cola, Nestle, Mars and Mondelez are the food companies that are using Artificial Intelligence for their production and sustainable growth. Artificial intelligence works in the appropriate pattern, which includes inputting what you want, collecting the data from various sources, processing the gathered data with a decision factor, giving the necessary outcome to the users, making adjustments to match the desired output, and then providing conclusive information to the information seeker or end user. It offers numerous advantages and disadvantages, including automating repetitive tasks, solving complex problems, enhancing customer experience, and advancing healthcare and medicine. Job displacement , discrimination , hallucinations , privacy concerns , and environmental costs are disadvantages. Siri(Apple), Alexa ( Amazon), Google Assistant (Google), and Cortana ( Microsoft) are widely and globally recognized virtual assistants. AI-powered tools such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini and GitHub Copilot are used by developers, academicians, and researchers on a day-to-day basis. Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence is becoming popular in the legal profession by providing specific services to young professionals, advocates, and legal interns. One can understand legal documents, legal language, and navigate the legal system effectively, especially for people who live in remote areas and are equipped with fewer resources. Artificial intelligence can help to bridge the gap by offering services through platforms where individuals can raise their grievances and resolve their legal concerns. It also protects human rights, ensures fair trials, and safeguards individuals who may be at risk due to race, gender identity or disability. SUPACE is an artificial tool that was launched by the Chief Justice of India and stands for Supreme Court Portal for Assistance in Court Efficiency. It is a pan-India project with a vision to transform India by information and communication technology, and funded by the Department of Justice for the betterment of the district Courts of the country. This tool is very cost-effective, transparent, saves time, and produces streamlined and customized data for the judges who can use it to solve complex legal matters, reducing delays and pendency of cases. SUVAS, an AI-powered translation tool. Stands for the Supreme Court Vidhik Anuvaad Software was launched by CJI S.A. Bobde in 2019, who took the initiative to translate collective legal documents in vernacular languages. Article 348(1)(a) of the Indian Constitution allows the Supreme Court of India and the High Court should do all the proceedings in English. But Article 348(2) allows the high court of that state to use Hindi or vernacular language with permission of the state governor of the same state, with the president’s consent. This power of the Indian Constitution was conferred by the SUVAS to provide effective service of translation services. Numerous Artificial tools can be used by professionals, such as spotDraft, Casemine, Nearlaw, Pensieve, and Practice League, to assist legal researchers in conducting their research in seconds. These AI tools are tailored to meet legal research needs, offering swift case law analysis, structured drafting, and decision-making assistance. However, they cannot replace the nuanced reasoning and creativity of human lawyers. FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS IN THE ALGORITHMIC AGE: VIOLATION HIDDEN IN CODE Artificial intelligence has proven as a revolutionary era where difficult tasks can be solved in minutes with effective and reasonable solutions. This fast and convenient system of artificial intelligence often comes with anticipated legal challenges, which include infringement of constitutionally guaranteed rights, violation of the Information Technology Act, Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, Intellectual Property Rights, Consumer Protection Act, International frameworks, and the Digital Data Protection Act. These political, civil, social, economic, and cultural rights are protected under international documents
