Unlikely to pass

Most bills introduced by a single member without a large group of supporters fail to move past the first committee.

This bill lets people use artificial intelligence to help solve legal arguments outside of a courtroom. AI could be used to look up laws, organize paperwork, and even help write the final ruling on who wins the case.
For AI to be used, every person or company involved in the legal fight must give their permission in writing. This ensures that no one is forced to use technology they do not trust to handle their legal matters.
If you agree to use AI, you take on a big risk. You cannot ask a judge to throw out the final decision just because the AI made a mistake or gave a wrong answer during the process.
The plan specifically forbids using generative AI, which is the type of technology that writes stories or creates images from scratch. Only specific types of analytical AI would be allowed to help with these legal cases.
