NOTICE: Responsibilities for the Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools in Document Preparation
Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) tools can assist parties in preparing documents for filing with the court and are not prohibited in the Eastern District of California Bankruptcy Court. However, use of these tools presents inherent risk as they often generate documents that are incomplete, misrepresent the law, or even refer to nonexistent legal references. Parties, both attorneys and pro se debtors, who use AI to generate documents for filing with the court must be aware of these risks and are required to verify the accuracy of documents by checking references carefully before filing. Failure to do so constitutes a violation of Federal Rules Bankruptcy Procedure 9011.
For further information regarding the risks, responsibilities, and potential ramifications associated with using AI in preparing legal documents and the duty to read and to think, please see the Ninth Circuit’s pertinent decision here.
