How far should Artificial Intelligence be allowed to enter the courtroom?
In this episode of Podcast Bite, Krishna examines the Supreme Court of India’s draft Regulations for Use of Artificial Intelligence in Courts, 2026, published for consultation on 3 June 2026.
The proposed framework permits AI-assisted functions such as research, transcription, translation, case management and document review but places human judgment at the centre of judicial decision-making.
The episode also examines prohibited uses, AI-generated filings, disclosure and verification obligations, judicial accountability, audits, data protection and vendor governance.
The central principle of the draft is simple: AI may assist the administration of justice, but it cannot replace human judicial decision-making.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
