AI Task Force for State Courts Launched in California

May 19, 2024

The California Chief Justice has launched a Generative AI Task Force to research and develop the use of generative AI in state courts, with a focus on public trust, privacy, and judicial ethics. The task force will explore the potential applications of generative AI in court proceedings, including redacting minors’ information and identifying when civil judges can preside remotely. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to integrate artificial intelligence into California’s legal system, following previous developments such as the introduction of AI-powered tools for data breaches and the establishment of guidelines for AI use in law firms.
