2/7 Open-source AI can democratise tech — lowering barriers, enabling local innovation, and reducing Big Tech dependence. For India, it’s a path to real AI autonomy. But this future isn’t automatic; it depends on deliberate state action.

Should court judgements be generated by AI? 🔘 Yes, data is more objective than humans 🔘 No, too much is at stake 🔘 Depends on the safeguards Our report (launching today!) maps frameworks for courts adopting AI — rights, risks and tools. Replies welcome. 👇

1/4 The Supreme Court of India flagged it earlier this year: AI-generated fake citations in judgments. An "institutional concern" with a direct bearing on judicial integrity. AI in courts isn't a future scenario. It's the present.

2/4 Here's why our March 24 report launch with DAKSH & UNDP matters. 🧵 Transcription that mishears. Translation that flattens nuance. Summarisation that drops context. In a courtroom, these aren't just errors. They affect real outcomes.

Instead of asking simply “Should AI be open?”, the matrix helps frame a more useful question: Which components should be open — and what outcomes might that enable?
