The Delhi High Court has ruled that artificial intelligence (AI) cannot replace human intelligence or the humane element in the legal adjudication process. The court stated that tools like ChatGPT cannot be the basis for deciding legal or factual matters in court. It emphasized that AI-generated data's accuracy and reliability are still uncertain, and AI can be used only for preliminary understanding or research. The court made these observations while addressing a lawsuit involving Christian Louboutin and a trademark violation case. The court ultimately ruled in favor of the plaintiff and imposed damages on the defendant.

The Delhi High Court has rejected Policybazaar's plea to restrict the use of identical keywords to its trademarks on Google's AdWords Program by other entities.

The court also noted that Policybazaar itself used the registered trademarks of one defendant as keywords, indicating it accepted this practice as fair. The ruling clarified that its views were prima facie and not conclusive.
