The Delhi High Court has removed the injunction on Google and Booking.com to use registered trademarks as keywords on the Google Ads program.

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.
