The Supreme Court has set aside a judgment on Essel Infraprojects’ insolvency after finding that the tribunal had relied on non-existent, fake, and hallucinated judgments/precedents generated through AI tools. The Supreme Court bench said, “such reliance on hallucinated material strikes at the integrity of adjudication and its processes, and courts must adopt a zero-tolerance approach when dealing with fake AI precedents produced by lawyers without verification”. The same amounts to misconduct on the part of the advocate, the top court added.
