The federal judiciary has distributed interim guidance on artificial intelligence, allowing for the use of the technology while addressing procurement and security concerns.
According to Judge Robert J. Conrad, Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, an AI task force developed the guidance, which was distributed to federal courts on July 31.
The guidance is a temporary measure, enabling courts to explore the technology while more permanent guidance is being developed.
The move is part of a broader effort to consider the role of AI in the US courts, including the potential development of an AI information-sharing website.
