What the Election Commission needs to disclose about its AI use, and why

A Supreme Court judge suggested AI could help the poll body read lakhs of affidavits in the Trinamool symbol dispute. The Election Commission already runs unaudited software on the electoral roll and has told the UN it uses no AI at all. On September 28, 2026, the Supreme Court gave the Election Commission of India (ECI) three months to decide which faction of the Trinamool Congress is the real one.
