Al to assist and not to decide equities: Chief Justice of India Surya Kant

Al to assist and not to decide equities: Chief Justice of India Surya Kant Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Saturday (July 11, 2026) clarified that Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be used only for procedural convenience and not in actual judging. The role of AI is only that of an assistant, and not a judge. The CJI’s caution comes amid recent judgments and observations from within the highest court about the dangers on blind reliance on AI. Earlier this month, a Bench headed by Justice P.S. Narasimha found that a Tribunal had relied on AI-hallucinated verdicts to decide a real case. The apex court advocated ‘zero-tolerance’ to blind reliance on machine intelligence, while highlighting that such sloppiness would spell catastrophe to the judicial process itself. In recent months, Supreme Court judges, including Justices B.V. Nagarathna and Dipankar Datta, have remarked in open court that they encountered AI-generated hallucinations and citations to non-existent case laws in legal petitions, including a fictitious case titled ‘Mercy versus Mankind’.
