Judicial reliance on AI

It is astounding that the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai, used an AI-generated case law without verifying its authenticity and delivered an order under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) in a ₹200 crore credit facility case against a bank (Front page, July 3). The incident shows that the NCLTs are not fully aware of the pitfalls of using AI indiscriminately. The temptation for judicial authorities to rely on AI may be considerable, but the Supreme Court of India’s advice to adopt “zero tolerance” towards reliance on AI should be scrupulously followed by all courts in the interest of the judicial system.

Meaningful advertising

It was interesting to read the column “From the Archives: Fifty Years Ago” on the necessity of conviction in advertisements. Fifty years on, despite the availability of advanced techniques and technologies, the quality of advertisements has only deteriorated, with many becoming loud, gaudy, and meaningless. There is a glaring excess instead of dignified moderation.
