Artificial Intelligence has moved from research labs into every corner of our lives—shaping economies, transforming warfare, and raising profound questions about what it means to be human. For some, AI promises extraordinary leaps in productivity, creativity, and problem-solving. For others, it evokes fears of surveillance, disinformation, and geopolitical arms races. But beyond the hype, what actually counts as “intelligence” in these machines? Are today’s Large Language Models truly thinking, or are they just sophisticated mimics of human communication?
Professor Robert C. Berwick of MIT joins Dr. Arghya Sengupta on the latest episode of Justify. Together, they step back from the daily headlines to ask:
➤ What is intelligence?
➤ How should we understand AI in relation to human cognition?
➤ And what futures—utopian or dystopian—might emerge as states and societies navigate this frontier in the international arena?

Great Cases Ep. 7 | The Right to Die with Dignity: The Law in Practice
A Great Cases discussion on Common Cause v Union of India, in which the Supreme Court of India recognised the right to die with dignity under Article 21 of the Constitution and gave legal recognition to advance medical directives. In 2024, the Supreme Court also released orders to simplify the process for executing the advance medical directives.
This panel discussion was hosted as a part of the Great Cases series under Vidhi's collaboration with the India International Centre on The Working of the Indian Constitution. The discussion focused on the legal journey that brought us to this landmark inflection point, how the medical and legal communities can better understand one another, and the broader legal, ethical, medical and societal issues surrounding end-of-life care.
The event featured a panel discussion with Dr. R.K. Mani (Chairman, Critical Care Medicine and Pulmonology, Yashoda Super Specialty Hospital), Dr. Sushma Bhatnagar (Professor & Head Department of Onco-Ansesthesia,Pain and Palliative care, AIIMS, New Delhi), and Parth Sharma (Community physician and Public health researcher).
Dr. Dhvani Mehta, Co-Founder and Lead, Health, Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy moderated the discussion.
