| S.D.N.Y. Bankruptcy Court (Local Rule 9011-1) | 9/30/2024 | Generative AI | Generative AI Usage | Local Bankruptcy Rule 9011-1 refers specifically to “generative artificial intelligence services,” and cautions lawyers that GenAI tools “may produce factually or legally inaccurate content.” The rule reminds litigants that they must “review and verify any computer-generated content” to ensure it complies with Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9011. There are no prohibitions, disclosure requirements, or other limitations on the use of GenAI tools. The commentary notes that this rule is based on the local rule adopted by the Eastern District of Texas federal district court. |

| Erie County Supreme Court – Judge Grisanti |
2/1/2024 | Generative AI | Generative AI Usage | Judge Grisanti’s courtroom rules require disclosure if gen AI is used to draft any filings, and requires the filer to attest that all citations and language have been verified for accuracy. Gen AI is explicitly defined in the rules as artificial intelligence that is “capable of generating new content (such as images or text) in response to a submitted prompt (such as a query) by learning from a large reference database of examples.” This definition seemingly encompasses most mainstream gen AI platforms. |

| Erie County Supreme Court Commercia Division – Judge Colaiacovo |
2/1/2024 | Generative AI | Generative AI Usage | The rules require parties to disclose if they “use any [gen AI] resources or material.” Although the order specifies that such disclosure must identify the particular gen AI program used, identify the “portion of the filing drafted” by gen AI, and certify human review for accuracy, the order’s plain language appears to apply broadly to any use of gen AI “resources or material,” not merely when gen AI is used to draft portions of filings. As a result, the order likely applies to the use of gen AI both for drafting filings and conducting research or performing other tasks in connection with the matter. |

It does not impose any limitations on the use of such tools. | |
