SC flags menace of AI-generated fake case laws
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has cautioned about the “menace” of citing AI-generated non-existent judgments during hearings, “a practice rampant across courts worldwide”.
A bench comprising Justices Rajesh Bindal and Vijay Bishnoi made the remarks on a petition seeking to expunge remarks by the Bombay High Court after he cited a non-existent judgment generated using artificial intelligence.
The high court noted submissions of the appellant, Deepak, were generated using ChatGPT, including a judgment “which had no citation in the real world”. The top court said the High Court and its law clerks were “at pains to find this case law but could not find it”.
