AND SELF-REPRESENTED LITIGANTS
____________________________________/
WHEREAS, attorneys and self-represented litigants increasingly use generative artificial intelligence ("AI") tools in the preparation of pleadings, motions, memoranda, and proposed orders; and
WHEREAS, such tools may generate inaccurate, misleading, or entirely fabricated factual assertions or legal authority ("hallucinations") which impact the integrity of legal proceedings; and
WHEREAS, information generated by AI must have appropriate human oversight, including verification of factual claims and citation checks; and
WHEREAS, the Court should not have to parse case citations and parentheticals to discern whether cases exist. Takefman v. Pickleball Club, LLC, 418 So. 3d 826, 827 (Fla. 3d DCA 2025), reh'g denied (Sept. 11, 2025); and
WHEREAS, the Supreme Court of Florida amended the Comments to rules 4-1.1, 4-1.6, 4-5.1, and 4-5.3 of the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar to add a warning about the necessity to take care in using generative artificial intelligence. In re Amendments to Rules Regulating the Florida Bar - Chapter 4, 393 So. 3d 137 (Fla. 2024) (SC2024-0032); and
WHEREAS, self-represented litigants must adhere to the same procedural rules and applicable statutes as attorneys; and
WHEREAS, all filings submitted to the Court must comply with the duty of candor to the tribunal, and the responsibility for accuracy rests solely with the filing party, regardless of the technology used; and
WHEREAS, transparency regarding the use of AI promotes accountability, fairness, and public confidence in the judicial process.
