Relates to the admissibility of evidence created or processed by artificial intelligence
This bill establishes new standards for using artificial intelligence-generated evidence in court. It prohibits admitting AI-created or AI-processed evidence in criminal or civil cases unless the evidence is backed by separate, admissible evidence and the specific AI use is proven reliable through expert testimony. The law defines "AI-created" evidence as new information not deducible from existing data, and "AI-processed" evidence as conclusions beyond what existing data reasonably supports. To be admissible, proponents must demonstrate the AI was rigorously tested for accuracy in relevant contexts and avoid variables that could cause errors.
