Courts would require reporters to review AI-assisted official records

A qualified court reporter must oversee an AI tool used to help create an official court record and certify the record’s accuracy. This applies to official transcripts or recordings of proceedings that the state Supreme Court and district or appellate courts must keep. AI output cannot be the only basis for creating the official record. The Supreme Court must establish or maintain oversight policies before courts use AI tools to help create these records. The requirements would apply to official court records created on or after January 1, 2027.

A qualified reporter must certify the record and the AI tool used, and the court must keep documentation of the oversight. This applies to official court records made with help from an AI tool. The certification must attest to accuracy and human oversight and identify the AI tool’s type and name. Unofficial recordings or transcripts are exempt only if clearly labeled unofficial and not submitted as part of the official record. The requirements would apply to official court records created on or after January 1, 2027. Courts would keep oversight documentation for the period set by records retention policies or court rules.
