Supreme Court Says AI Policy Belongs to Executive, Adjourns GenAI PIL in Judiciary

Judges acknowledged seeing morphed images targeting the judiciary, highlighting the risks cited in a plea to regulate generative AI.

CJO BR Gavai said that any move to regulate technologies such as AI must come from the executive, not the courts.
CJI highlights perils of AI, agrees to hear plea to frame guidelines on its use in judiciary

Overview

  • A bench of CJI BR Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran heard a PIL seeking a legal or policy framework for Generative AI in judicial and quasi-judicial bodies.
  • The court said regulation of AI is a policy question for the Centre and listed the matter for further hearing in two weeks.
  • Advocate Kartikeya Rawal, assisted by advocate-on-record Abhinav Shrivastava, filed the plea in RAWAL v. Union of India, W.P.(C) No. 001041/2025.
  • The petition warns that GenAI’s hallucinations and opaque “black box” logic could fabricate case law or produce biased outputs, undermining precedent-based reasoning.
  • The filing also cites risks to equality under Article 14 and the right to know under Article 19(1)(a), as well as heightened cyberattack exposure if court systems integrate AI tools.
