Medical Council of India inspection of Medical Colleges: SC asks UIDAI Chairman to Suggest Artificial Intelligence Based Solutions

Sibal told the bench, which was hearing a matter related to a dispute over the inspection of a private medical college by the MCI, that an expert like Nilekani, who is also a co-founder of IT major Infosys, could be appointed to look into this aspect.

The counsel appearing for the MCI also supported Sibal's suggestions.

"We accordingly request Nandan Nilekani to go into this problem and give concrete suggestions to this court at the earliest," the bench said. It also suggested that Nilekani could take technical help from IT firms.

The apex court asked the MCI to convene a meeting with Nilekani, Sibal and other lawyers, who might be interested in the matter.

The bench said Sibal and MCI's counsel could prepare a written note highlighting the issues that are needed to be taken up by Nilekani to provide solutions to the problems.

"Nilekani is at liberty to take technical assistance from various IT companies viz. Wipro, Infosys, Accenture etc for making suggestions to this court," the bench said and posted the matter for further hearing after six weeks.
