The Supreme Court of India released a 35-page draft of Regulations for the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Courts on June 3. It invites public feedback until July 15. The framework encourages AI for tasks like transcription, translation, case management, and improving access to justice. AI stays subordinate to human judgment. Courts must maintain full accountability. Prohibited uses include basing judicial decisions on AI, using personal data to train models, and treating AI outputs as independent evidence without disclosure. The draft proposes AI committees at Supreme Court and High Court levels, plus subcommittees for technical, cybersecurity, and other areas. Litigants should know when AI assists their cases. This follows recent court concerns over AI-generated fake precedents in a ruling.
