ChatGPT-like AI responses still in grey area, cannot become basis of court's decisions: Delhi HC

Generative AI technology like ChatGPT or Google Bard is making things simpler for millions of people. In a recent observation, a Delhi High Court judge said that responses from AI chatbots like ChatGPT cannot be the basis for deciding issues in courts. {{^adFree}} {{/adFree}} While hearing a dispute between two shoemakers with one accusing the other of stealing its design, Justice Prathiba M Singh ruled that ChatGPT cannot be the substitute for human intelligence and cannot become the basis of adjudication of legal issues in court, Bar and Bench reported on Monday. French footwear company Christian Louboutin alleged that a firm named 'The Shoe Boutique – Shutiq' is designing shoes identical to its red sole and spiked shoe style. However, the court noted that the other responses of ChatGPT were not aligned with the submissions of plaintiffs and when asked the question differently ChatGPT said that there are several brands with shoes designed in spikes and studs style, the Bar and Bench report added.
