FAQ :
The Delhi High Court has warned the GST and Income Tax departments to exercise utmost caution when using AI tools like ChatGPT for legal citations in show cause notices and assessment proceedings.
The warning is due to the risk of 'AI hallucinations' and fabricated case laws, where AI tools might generate inaccurate or imaginary legal references without proper verification.
No, the court stated that AI chatbots cannot be relied upon to determine legal or factual issues and should not be used for citing authoritative legal precedent. They may only be used for preliminary understanding or research.
The GST and Income Tax departments must take full responsibility if they cite or generate information using AI software, and all judgments used in official documents must be independently verified.
Potential issues include incorrect interpretations, fabricated case laws, imaginary or inconsistent data, and responses influenced by training data or user queries, highlighting that AI accuracy is still in a 'grey area'.
