Inside India's courts, AI's growing role sparks concern
"The Supreme Court declared that a ruling built on fabricated AI citations was not simply 'an error in the decision-making process. It was, the bench said, 'misconduct.'"
"It is not a question of whether we should integrate AI or not but it is the question of how far the due diligence should be.'"
"In 2023, a judge in Colombia included a transcript of a conversation with ChatGPT in a ruling, stating the tool had helped 'assist, not replace his reasoning.'"
"Months later, two lawyers in New York City were sanctioned after submitting a legal brief that cited six cases invented by the chatbot."
A land dispute case in Andhra Pradesh revealed that a judge relied on four fictitious legal precedents generated by an AI tool. The Supreme Court of India deemed this reliance as misconduct rather than a mere error. The case raised questions about the integration of AI in legal processes and the necessity for due diligence. Similar issues have arisen globally, with instances of AI tools being used in courtrooms, highlighting the urgent need for governance in the use of AI in legal contexts.
