• Justice Suryakant expressed deep concern
• Gave a stern warning

Supreme Court On AI: It is the highest judicial institution of the country In the Supreme Court now Artificial Intelligence (AI) The increasing use has led to serious problems. Although the use of technology is becoming easier for the legal profession, the irresponsible use of it by some lawyers has now come under the court’s radar. Recently, during a hearing, Justice Suryakant has come down hard on this trend of lawyers.

Fictitious references and false references

Justice Suryakant pointed out that many lawyers are now directly using AI tools to prepare pleadings and legal documents. However, it often contains very inaccurate, incomplete and completely fictitious information. Most shockingly, some of the petitions refer to court judgments that never actually existed. AI often creates false references on its own, which not only wastes valuable court time, but also calls into question the credibility of the entire judicial process.

‘AI’ cannot replace human intelligence – Justice

During the hearing, the bench explained that some lawyers are submitting the draft prepared by AI directly to the court without checking the facts. Expressing displeasure, the judge said, “The primary responsibility of a lawyer is to verify the veracity of every fact and context. The use of AI may be limited to research assistance, but it cannot replace the lawyer’s discretion and responsibility.”

The court further noted that artificial intelligence lacks the ability to analyze situations and retain human senses. Judging is not just based on rules, it involves experience, senses and conscience, which a machine can never possess.

Deterioration of intellectual capacity and a stern warning to lawyers

Justice Suryakant has warned that the court will not hesitate to take strict action if such AI-generated false pleas continue to be filed in future. Technology is only useful for searching old results or managing documents. However, the entire responsibility of final argument and presentation of facts shall rest solely with the counsel.

New challenges in the digital age

The use of AI in the legal process is proving to be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, this increases the speed of work, on the other hand, there is a fear of deterioration in the quality of legal research. Against this background, this warning by the Supreme Court has become a topic of discussion across the legal field, urging new lawyers to maintain a sense of ethical responsibility along with technology.
