The Supreme Court of India came down heavily against the use of artificial intelligence in court filings on Tuesday — calling it a wholly unnecessary practice. The bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant also voiced serious concern about the growing trend of lawyers filing petitions drafted with AI tools that contain non-existent judgements, hallucinated quotes and biased information.
“We are alarmed to reflect that some lawyers have started using AI to draft petitions. It is absolutely uncalled for,” the bench said.
