Supreme Court of Singapore’s Circular on Using RoughDraft AI, Explained
From Abhivardhan, our Chairperson
The Singapore Supreme Court has issued a quite interesting (not groundbreaking or godly) circular on the use of Generative AI in court proceedings. 🤖
⚖️In this explainer, I have dived deep into Registrar's Circular No. 1 of 2024, which provides a pragmatic yet cautious approach to integrating AI tools like ChatGPT into the legal system. 🧐

📜Key takeaways:
🙌 Generative AI (sorry, Rough Draft AI) is a tool, not a replacement for human judgment and legal expertise.
🔍 Court users are responsible for ensuring the accuracy, relevance, and appropriateness of AI-generated content.
🚫 Strict guidelines are in place to prevent IP infringement, data breaches, and confidentiality violations.
⚠️ Non-compliance can lead to cost orders, disciplinary action, and reduced evidentiary weight.
The circular strikes a balance between embracing technological advancements and maintaining the integrity of the legal system. 🎯
⚖️However, it's clear that the Supreme Court does not view Generative AI as a panacea for all legal tasks. 🙅♂️
💼 Instead, it emphasizes the importance of human oversight and verification processes.This approach not only increases trust in the judicial system but also serves as a reminder that AI is not infallible unlike what some Indian AI companies and their self-righteous people claim on LinkedIn. 🤝
🏛️Interestingly, recent findings from an Australian government regulator suggest that Generative AI text solutions may actually increase workload rather than reduce it. 😮
📈 This further validates the need for caution and human involvement in AI-assisted legal work.
