Draft Supreme Court rules prohibit use of AI for judicial outcomes, witness profiling

Image used for representational purpose only. | Photo Credit: Getty Images/iStockphoto Prohibiting the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to determine judicial outcomes, the Supreme Court AI committee has proposed draft regulations that bar AI-assisted sentencing without mandatory human oversight, prevent AI systems from profiling parties or witnesses, and disallow the use of “opaque” or “unexplainable” AI systems in any court process. The proposed regulations come amid concerns expressed by the top court in recent months over the growing reliance on AI by courts in rendering judgments. In March, a Bench headed by Justice P.S. Narasimha chided a trial court for relying on non-existent judgments generated with the help of AI, observing that it was not merely “an error in decision-making” but amounted to judicial “misconduct”. The preliminary draft of the ‘Regulations for Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Courts, 2026’, made public on Wednesday (June 3, 2026), underlines that AI systems used in court processes must “function solely in an assistive capacity” and remain “strictly subservient to human judgment and judicial authority”. The committee, chaired …

Startup Conclave in Agra: Faith and technology can together create great outcomes, says CM Adityanath | Lucknow News

Drawing a parallel between ancient wisdom and new-age innovations, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Sunday that exchange of ideas among entrepreneurs would lay the foundation stone of a new-age Ramayan of creativity and progress as it did when the Hindu epic was authored by sage Valmiki in consultations with Narada. Addressing a conclave of unicorns in Agra, the CM, pointing to the “success” of the ‘Khoya-Paya’ initiative at the Maha Kumbh, which according to him helped reunite 28,000 missing individuals with their families through a digital tracking system, claimed that faith, perseverance and technology can work together to create great outcomes. “Before composing Ramayan, Valmiki had a shloka in mind but sought guidance from Narad ji, who advised him to centre it around Lord Shri Ram. This exchange of ideas led to the creation of the epic. Similarly, discussions among entrepreneurs would serve as the foundation stone for a new-age Ramayan of innovation and progress,” he added.
