Supreme Court judge Justice B R Gavai, next in line to be the CJI, has flagged the circulation of edited hearing clips on social media to sensationalise legal proceedings. He said the judiciary might have to formulate guidelines over live-streaming of courts. The judge underlined the significant risks surrounding the use of AI in legal research referring to instances where a platform like ChatGPT generated \”fake case citations and fabricated legal facts\” He said technology had revolutionised case management by replacing traditional paper-based records with digital systems that allow real-time tracking of cases, automated scheduling of hearings, and seamless document retrieval. The Indian judiciary, he said, embraced hybrid video-conferencing for court proceedings, marking a significant shift toward greater accessibility and efficiency in the justice system. He was speaking at an event in Kenya on: Leveraging on Technology within the Judiciary. The event was organised by the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, and was attended by senior judges from across the country.
