Overview
- Bench of CJI B.R. Gavai and Justice K. Vinod Chandran took up Kartikeya Rawal’s PIL seeking a uniform law or policy on GenAI use in courts and tribunals.
- The Chief Justice acknowledged a fabricated shoe‑throwing video and said judges have seen morphed pictures circulating online.
- The petition warns that GenAI’s black‑box design can cause hallucinated citations, biased outputs and arbitrary reasoning that could offend Article 14.
- It urges transparent data ownership, bias safeguards and a human‑in‑the‑loop approach, warning of risks to the right to know under Article 19(1)(a) and of cyberattacks on AI‑driven systems.
- The court listed the matter for hearing after a fortnight, keeping the plea on its docket while indicating regulation is a policy decision for the government.
