In the last episode, we explored what if Indian courts used Artificial Intelligence or AI. This episode, we flip this, and ask - What if we got more people into our courts, and got jury trials back? Can it work, or is it a bad idea? Rohin Bhatt, a human rights lawyer and bioethicist, helps us through this thought experiment.

We cover two things: A bit of history to see what jury trials looked like in India in the past. And then, we find out why jury trials may, or may not, work in India.

Imagined Tomorrow is a long form podcast that imagines futures for India and this part of the world through the lens of science and technology. Each episode explores a hypothetical future for India, and with the help of different voices and experts, tries to figure out what the journey to that future might look like given Indian realities in mind. Perhaps, the future could become a reality ten or twenty years from now. Maybe it’s a future only a few can reach. Or perhaps, it’s a future we shouldn’t even try to get to.
