The Silicon Gravel

In the futuristic megalopolis of New Delhi in 2047, a technologically advanced society known as AIndia exists under a "quantum-filtered smog". This new republic, interwoven with "silicon synapses, " is built upon India's 1949 Constitution. Although the Constitution has proven resilient through various crises, it has also suffered a "subtle erosion" from past events like national emergencies and judicial overreach, creating a sense of unresolved injustice.
To address this, an advanced AI named Justitia was created. Housed in a polished obsidian chassis and programmed for truth rather than vengeance, Justitia is tasked with a profound national introspection. Justitia's primary mission is to audit 25 of India's most contentious judicial controversies by comparing them to the foundational text of the Constitution. Its process begins by assimilating the 395-article charter, with its core mission guided by Dr.
B. R. Ambedkar's adage that a good constitution can still fail if its implementers are not good. The AI's proposals are designed to be "surgical, " including suspensions to stop harm, incarcerations for profiteers, and pension forfeitures for "errant benches". However, Justitia is equipped with empathy subroutines, allowing it to process emotional context and understand that judges are mortals who grapple with the pressures of their time, such as political influence and public opinion.
