Justice Vikram Nath warned that AI, geopolitical chaos, and economic instability are rewriting how nations operate. The kicker? He says the rule of law might be our only lifeline. At the BRICS+ Legal Forum, he didn’t just talk tech; he challenged lawyers, policymakers, and even activists to co-design AI governance. Why? Because AI isn’t built in a vacuum; it’s trained on our biases, our data, our inequalities. If we leave it to tech giants alone, we’re handing our future to algorithms. His message? Law must slow down to think fast. India, with its messy, diverse legal DNA, might just be the perfect lab for this global experiment. The world’s legal systems aren’t meant to look alike; they’re meant to work together. And that’s exactly what BRICS is becoming: not just an economic club, but a legal coalition for a turbulent century. As Justice Nath put it; cooperation isn’t about sameness. It’s about staying together when nothing else makes sense.
