Indian court: "legible medical prescription is a fundamental right". They took it seriously, from a case that actually had nothing to do with prescription. No more scribbles: Indian court tells doctors to fix their handwriting Justice Puri said when he looked at the medico-legal report - written by a government doctor who had examined the woman - he found it incomprehensible. "It shook the conscience of this court as not even a word or a letter was legible," he wrote in the order. "At a time when technology and computers are easily accessible, it is shocking that government doctors are still writing prescriptions by hand which cannot be read by anybody except perhaps some chemists," Justice Puri wrote. The court asked the government to include handwriting lessons in the medical school curriculum and set a two-year timeline for rolling out digitised prescriptions. Until that happens, all doctors must write prescriptions clearly in capital letters, Justice Puri said.

Domain experts having to spend time to root out flawed proofs is a cautionary tale. AI likely can generate more flawed proofs faster than the domain experts can keep up with. Mathematicians Warn of AI Threats to Profession As Industry Encroaches A new Leiden Declaration, endorsed by the International Mathematical Union and published on June 2, 2026, warns that AI could undermine mathematics by flooding the field with plausible but flawed proofs, weakening attribution, shifting incentives, and giving tech companies too much influence over research priorities. "Mathematicians should find it quite striking that tech companies are suddenly interested in their work," said Kevin Buzzard, a mathematician at Imperial College London, in a statement. "The Leiden Declaration is a well-thought-through response to what is currently happening, as AI continues to disrupt this space." Ars Technica reports:
