The India — Gujarat High Court's policy on Artificial intelligence use in the judiciary could influence other legal systems globally, potentially affecting the development and adoption of AI tools in the legal sector. While not directly impacting stock prices, it sets a regulatory precedent for the Artificial intelligence industry.
The India — Gujarat High Court in India has unveiled a new policy on April 4, 2026, strictly prohibiting the use of Artificial intelligence for judicial decision-making, reasoning, order drafting, and judgment preparation. The policy emphasizes that Artificial intelligence should serve as a decision-support and administrative efficiency tool, not a replacement for human judicial reasoning. It highlights risks such as hallucinations, bias, confidentiality breaches, and erosion of judicial independence. However, the policy permits the use of Artificial intelligence for administrative tasks, legal research, and improving productivity, provided there is human oversight and verification of all AI-generated content. Judges and court officers are held personally responsible for all orders and AI-generated content used in their duties.
