A 9097 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires disclosure of use of generative artificial intelligence to clients, criminal defendants, and the court

This bill requires legal professionals and self-represented individuals to disclose when they use generative AI for legal research, document review, or drafting court filings. It directly affects all lawyers, defendants, and pro se litigants who prepare court documents. Key provisions mandate: obtaining client or defendant consent after warning about AI risks, attaching a written statement disclosing AI use, and certifying that a human verified all content (including case citations). The bill applies to both civil and criminal cases, with separate affidavits required for AI-assisted or AI-free filings. It does not restrict AI use but mandates transparency and human oversight in legal work.
