Indian Chief Justice urges judges to use AI cautiously to support efficiency, not replace human judgment.

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant urged judicial officers to use artificial intelligence cautiously, emphasizing that it should serve as a tool to support efficiency, not replace human judgment or constitutional conscience. Speaking at a conference in Bengaluru, he warned against over-reliance on AI, citing risks like "hallucinations" and inaccurate legal citations that could undermine the integrity of justice. He stressed that judges must independently verify all AI-generated content and maintain the essential human elements of reflection and values in legal decision-making.
