the Bench asked, observing that today's courts and tribunals implicitly trust lawyers when they cite judicial precedents. Court stressed that AI should remain only an aid to adjudication, with human decision-makers retaining complete control over the process. The Bench reiterated that there would be zero tolerance for the production, citation or reliance upon AI-generated precedents without independent verification. Clarifying that its observations do not prohibit the legitimate use of AI, Court said its concern was limited to the presentation of fake or hallucinated material as authentic judicial precedents. To address the issue institutionally, Court directed the Bar Council of India to constitute a committee to examine the growing problem of AI-generated fake authorities.
