Air India cuts foreign wide-body flights by 15% after crash
NEW DELHI: Air India is reducing its international service using widebody planes by 15% as the nation's flag carrier grapples with the fallout from a fatal Boeing Co. 787 crash last week and an Israel-Iran clash in the Middle East. The cuts will be rolled out through June 20 and will continue until at least mid-July, the carrier said in a press release on Wednesday. The airline also said it would undertake one-time safety inspections across its Boeing 777 fleet as "a matter of added precaution.' In its statement, Air India cited geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, night curfew in the airspaces of countries in Europe and East Asia and the ongoing enhanced safety inspections of its Boeing-built 787 fleet after Thursday's crash. Safety checks ordered by the country's Directorate General of Civil Aviation have been completed on 26 of the 33 Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets operated by Air India, clearing those planes to fly, the airline said. Inspections of the remaining planes will be completed in the coming days, it added. "The curtailments are a painful measure to take, but are necessary following a devastating event which we are still working through and an unusual combination of external events,' Air India said. Investigators are still trying to determine why Air India flight AI171 struggled to gain altitude after takeoff from the western Indian city of Ahmedabad before plunging into a densely populated neighbourhood seconds later, killing all but one of the 242 passengers and crew, as well as dozens more on the ground. The incident ranks as the worst disaster in civil aviation in more than a decade. Search crews sifting through the crash site have pulled the second flight data recorder from the rubble, Bloomberg has reported. The first device was found the day after the crash. Air India Chairman N Chandrasekaran told a local TV channel that AI-171 had a clean flight record before the crash. "There are speculations about human error, speculations about airlines, speculations about engines, maintenance, all kinds,' he said. "This particular aircraft, this specific tail, AI-171 has a clean history.' "Both engine histories are clean. Both pilots were exceptional,' he added. The plane's right engine had been installed in March 2025, he said. The left engine was last serviced in 2023 and due for its next maintenance check in December 2025, he added. Chandrasekaran said a preliminary report is expected from crash investigators in 30 days. He also acknowledged that the lack of information about the factors that may have led to the crash has stoked frustration and rumours. "We've got to do a better job at communication,' he said, adding that the carrier installed a strategic communications team in the last three days. - Bloomberg

Justice at stake as generative AI enters the courtroom
Judges use AI for research, lawyers utilise it for appeals and parties involved in cases have relied on GenAI to help express themselves in court. — Photo by Conny Schneider on Unsplash NEW YORK: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is making its way into courts despite early stumbles, raising questions about how it will influence the legal system and justice itself. Judges use the technology for research, lawyers utilise it for appeals and parties involved in cases have relied on GenAI to help express themselves in court. "It's probably used more than people expect," said Daniel Linna, a professor at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, about GenAI in the US legal system. "Judges don't necessarily raise their hand and talk about this to a whole room of judges, but I have people who come to me afterward and say they are experimenting with it." In one prominent instance, GenAI enabled murder victim Chris Pelkey to address an Arizona courtroom – in the form of a video avatar – at the sentencing of the man convicted of shooting him dead in 2021 during a clash between motorists. "I believe in forgiveness," said a digital proxy of Pelkey created by his sister, Stacey Wales. The judge voiced appreciation for the avatar, saying it seemed authentic. "I knew it would be powerful," Wales told AFP, "that that it would humanise Chris in the eyes of the judge." The AI testimony, a first of its kind, ended the sentencing hearing at which Wales and other members of the slain man's family spoke about the impact of the loss. Since the hearing, examples of GenAI being used in US legal cases have multiplied. "It is a helpful tool and it is time-saving, as long as the accuracy is confirmed," said attorney Stephen Schwartz, who practices in the northeastern state of Maine. "Overall, it's a positive development in jurisprudence." Schwartz described using ChatGPT as well as GenAI legal assistants, such as LexisNexis Protege and CoCounsel from Thomson Reuters, for researching case law and other tasks. "You can't completely rely on it," Schwartz cautioned, recommending that cases proffered by GenAI be read to ensure accuracy. "We are all aware of a horror story where AI comes up with mixed-up case things." The technology has been the culprit behind false legal citations, far-fetched case precedents, and flat-out fabrications. In early May, a federal judge in Los Angeles imposed US$31,100 (RM 132,532) in fines and damages on two law firms for an error-riddled petition drafted with the help of GenAI, blasting it as a "collective debacle." The tech is also being relied on by some who skip lawyers and represent themselves in court, often causing legal errors. And as GenAI makes it easier and cheaper to draft legal complaints, courts already overburdened by caseloads could see them climb higher, said Shay Cleary of the National Center for State Courts. "Courts need to be prepared to handle that," Cleary said. Transformation Law professor Linna sees the potential for GenAI to be part of the solution though, giving more people the ability to seek justice in courts made more efficient. "We have a huge number of people who don't have access to legal services," Linna said. "These tools can be transformative; of course we need to be thoughtful about how we integrate them." Federal judges in the US capitol have written decisions noting their use of ChatGPT in laying out their opinions. "Judges need to be technologically up-to-date and trained in AI," Linna said. GenAI assistants already have the potential to influence the outcome of cases the same way a human law clerk might, reasoned the professor. Facts or case law pointed out by GenAI might sway a judge's decision, and could be different than what a legal clerk would have come up with. But if GenAI lives up to its potential and excels at finding the best information for judges to consider, that could make for well-grounded rulings less likely to be overturned on appeal, according to Linna. – AFP
