What the rule requires
Justice Peter Allen Weinmann’s IAS Part rules (Erie County Supreme Court, Part 8) include a provision headed “A.I.” In the rules as of September 24, 2026, it reads:
“A.I. (Generative artificial intelligence) is the most transformational technology in modern history. Because its use is still in its infancy and not yet pervasive, should counsel or the parties use any AI resources or material (e.g. ChatGPT), they must adhere to the following 3 conditions: (1) They must disclose and /or certify that any use identifies the AI program;(2) They must identify the portion of the filing drafted by AI; and (3) They must certify that the AI work product was reviewed by a human being for accuracy and applicability.”
How it has changed
The provision reads the same in the rules as of March 25, 2026 as in the September 2026 rules. The 2025 version stated the same three elements, prefaced by “While the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not prohibited.”
