What happens when Artificial Intelligence starts hallucinating inside the justice system? ⚖️🤖
The Supreme Court's decision in Pooja Ramesh Singh v. J&K Bank raises a concern that the legal profession can no longer afford to ignore:
AI-generated legal research can be wrong — confidently wrong.
The case involved orders of the NCLT/NCLAT where six citations were found to be nonexistent or contained fabricated material, bringing the dangers of unverified AI-assisted legal research directly into judicial proceedings.
Think about the implications.
A lawyer using AI to draft an email incorrectly is one thing.
But when fabricated precedents find their way into judicial proceedings, the consequences are fundamentally different.
A judgment can determine someone's property, liberty, business, livelihood or legal rights.
This is why I believe the debate shouldn't be:
"Should lawyers and courts use AI?"
That question is already outdated.
The real question is:
"What safeguards should exist when AI is used in the administration of justice?"
AI can research thousands of pages within seconds. It can summarise judgments, assist with drafting and make legal work significantly more efficient.
But AI does not carry professional responsibility.
Humans do.
An advocate cannot defend a fabricated citation by saying, "AI gave it to me."
And a judicial decision cannot become less accountable merely because technology assisted in producing it.
As AI becomes increasingly integrated into the legal profession, verification must become as important as generation.
Every case citation. Every quotation. Every statutory provision. Every precedent.
Verify before you rely.
The future of law will undoubtedly involve AI.
But the future of justice must still involve human judgment, accountability and responsibility.
What safeguards do you think courts and law firms should adopt for the use of Generative AI?
