Human oversight requirement in the creation of official verbatim court records
This bill requires that human court reporters must review and verify any official court transcripts or recordings created with the help of artificial intelligence. It applies to all state supreme, district, and appellate courts in Minnesota that maintain official verbatim records of their proceedings. The law mandates that a qualified court reporter must check AI-generated work for accuracy, certify the final record, and keep documentation of this oversight process. If there is any disagreement between the AI output and the human-verified record, the human version becomes the official one. These rules will take effect on January 1, 2027, ensuring that technology assists rather than replaces human judgment in legal documentation.
