Evidence; artificial intelligence expert testimony; effective date.
This Oklahoma bill (HB 2016) sets new standards for admitting AI-generated evidence in court. It requires that when AI outputs are presented as expert testimony or evidence, the party introducing it must prove the output helps the court understand the case, uses reliable data and methods, and has been applied correctly to the facts. The bill directly affects legal cases involving AI-generated reports, analyses, or conclusions used as evidence. It also extends existing hearsay rules to AI outputs, allowing their accuracy to be challenged similarly to human testimony. The changes take effect November 1, 2025.
