The Arizona Supreme Court is allowing the state’s judges to continue to use generative AI in their daily work.
The court received a petition recently to stop judges from using AI during any part of the process. They rejected the petition.
Judges still are not allowed to use AI to make any legal rulings or decisions.
But the Supreme Court allows judges and other staff to use the technology on the backend — with the goal of improving efficiencies and reducing backlogs.
The court was recently petitioned to ban any use of AI until it could be studied better. But in rejecting the petition, the court said the only way to study the technology is for the courts to test it themselves.
A steering committee tasked with advising courts on AI use plans to issue a related report next year.
