The Supreme Court of India has proposed guidelines to regulate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in drafting judgments and filing petitions, aiming to protect the integrity of the judicial system.
A bench of justices PS Narasimha and Alok Aradhe expressed concerns over the discovery of AI-generated 'fake' or 'hallucinated' case citations in court orders, including one from a trial court in Andhra Pradesh and another from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in Mumbai.
The court directed the Bar Council of India (BCI) to assist in framing guidelines and sought suggestions from attorney general R Venkataramani and senior advocate Shyam Divan.
The matter will be heard later this month, with the court aiming to establish responsibility and accountability for AI-generated content in court proceedings.
