The Supreme Court on Thursday expressed grave concern over a National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) judgment which relied on fake precedents and cases generated using Artificial Intelligence (AI). While setting aside an NCLT verdict on Essel Infraprojects insolvency, the top court observed that human control over adjudication must remain total and absolute at every stage and warned against AI making professionals dependent. The court made these observations after finding that the NCLT had relied on non-existent, fake, and hallucinated judgments or past precedents generated through artificial intelligence tools.
