Overview
The notice was signed on July 10 and takes effect on September 7, 2026.[1] Parties and counsel remain responsible for submissions and must verify AI-generated legal principles and citations against reliable sources.[1]
AI must not generate or materially change personal evidence, including claim narratives, affidavits, witness statements or corroborative images. Minor spelling, grammar and formatting assistance remains permitted if it does not generate or materially change evidence.[1]
Documents containing AI-generated or materially changed content require the prescribed declaration of AI use and human verification. AI transcription or translation must always be disclosed; translations also require a human translator’s declaration. Minor assistance that does not generate or materially alter wording is exempt from the document declaration.[1]
Noncompliance may lead the IRB to reject documents, draw adverse credibility inferences, refer counsel to regulators or restrict counsel’s appearances.[1]
