thebalanced.newsSupreme Court Seeks Guidelines on AI Use in Judicial Proceedings Amid Citation Concerns
The Supreme Court of India is considering guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in judicial processes after instances of AI-generated fake or 'hallucinated' case citations were found in court orders. A bench led by Justices P.S. Narasimha and Alok Aradhe emphasized the need for accountability and integrity, directing the Bar Council of India to form a committee of experts to examine AI risks and submit a report. The court clarified it does not intend to ban AI but seeks responsible use and is reviewing recommendations, including a white paper prepared by the Supreme Court's Centre for Research and Planning. Further hearings are scheduled for later this month.
