On Saturday, the Gujarat High Court introduced a comprehensive policy regulating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in its judicial and administrative functions. This policy prohibits the application of AI in judicial decision-making, evaluating evidence, or drafting substantive orders, emphasizing the need for human oversight. While it allows judges and court staff to use AI for administrative tasks, such as translating documents and managing cause lists, it mandates that a qualified human officer must verify any AI-generated outputs. The policy also prohibits the entry of confidential case data into public AI platforms to safeguard privacy. This initiative makes the Gujarat High Court the second in India to formalize an AI policy, following the Kerala High Court's similar policy issued in July 2025. The overarching philosophy of the Gujarat policy is to uphold the constitutional mandate of justice through human conscience, ensuring judicial independence and confidentiality. Any breach of this policy will be considered professional misconduct, leading to disciplinary action. The policy reflects concerns highlighted in a Supreme Court white paper regarding the risks of AI in the judiciary, including algorithmic bias and privacy violations, reinforcing the principle that ultimate responsibility for judicial actions lies with human judges.
