Chief Justice Acknowledges AI Misuse Against Judiciary
Imagine computers that can create new pictures or stories, like drawing things that aren't real.
Sometimes, people use these computer tricks, called Generative AI, to make fake pictures of judges or even make up fake court cases that never happened.
This worries the top judge in India, Chief Justice BR Gavai.
He said he has seen these fake pictures himself.
The court is looking into how to make rules so that these smart computer tools are not used to trick people or make the legal system unfair.
They want to make sure that the information used by these tools is honest and doesn't create fake laws, which could be against people's rights.
Chief Justice BR Gavai acknowledged the misuse of AI and morphed pictures against the judiciary.
A PIL was filed seeking guidelines to regulate Generative AI in judicial bodies.
The petition warned that GenAI could create fake case laws and perpetuate biases.
Concerns were raised about GenAI's 'hallucinations' leading to non-existent laws, violating Article 14.
The Supreme Court bench adjourned the hearing for two weeks.
