This Indian court created history, used ChatGPT for the first time in bail hearing of murder, rioting accused

An Indian court used OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot to assess global perspectives on “bail jurisprudence.” The chatbot was used to assist in the bail hearing of Jaswinder Singh.

Earlier this week, for the time a  court in India used artificial intelligence to decide on the bail appeal of an accused and it dismissed the petition.
On Tuesday, the bench led by Anoop Chitkara, at the Punjab Haryana High Court, asked for Chat GPT’s  response while hearing the bail appeal of a suspect arrested in June 2020 for suspected murder, rioting, criminal intimidation, and criminal conspiracy.

Justice Chitkara evaluated the response from Chat GPT and dismissed the bail appeal of the suspect on the basis of his experiences and decisions given previously.
According to Justice Chitkara, “To cause death is itself a cruel act. However, the situation changes, if cruelty results in death. When a physical attack is done brutally, the bail parameters also change”.

The court, clearly said Any reference to ChatGPT and all the observations made, is just done to present a broader image on bail jurisprudence, where cruelty is a factor”.

In response to the court’s use of ChatGPT, a high court attorney Saurav called It is a good step.

He said, it can have negative as well as positive impact, which will be decided in the future. He also said that AI is not a threat to the jobs of attorneys, it can only be used as a tool”.
