SC releases draft regulations on use of AI in courts, seeks comments from stakeholders, public

NEW DELHI: In a move to modernise the legal landscape while safeguarding judicial integrity, the Supreme Court released draft ‘Regulations for Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in courts’ which contain a list of permissible and forbidden usage, stating that “no judicial outcome shall be reached through Algorithmic Decision-Making alone.”

Inviting comments and suggestions from stakeholders and the general public by June 20, the Artificial Intelligence Committee of the Supreme Court provides for allowing AI tools in “case management (including identification of defects in new filings), cause list preparation, hearing scheduling and docket prioritisation”.
