Nepal’s Supreme Court has adopted a new policy integrating artificial intelligence into certain aspects of its operations. AI will be permitted to assist with legal research, case management, and administrative tasks, aiming to improve efficiency. However, the court has explicitly prohibited the use of AI in drafting judgments, handling writ petitions, or making any decisions that require judicial discretion. This decision prioritizes maintaining the human element in critical judicial processes. The policy seeks a balance between leveraging AI’s capabilities and preserving the integrity of the legal system. Officials emphasize that AI will serve as a tool to *assist* judges, not *replace* them in core decision-making roles. The move reflects a cautious approach to AI adoption within the judiciary, recognizing the importance of human judgment in legal proceedings.
