U.S. Judiciary Panel Advances Proposal on AI-Generated Evidence

Posted by: Julia Wilburn on May 13, 2025

The U.S. Judicial Conference's Advisory Committee on Evidence Rules on May 2 advanced a proposal to regulate evidence generated by artificial intelligence (AI), aiming to ensure it meets the same reliability standards as expert witness testimony. Reuters reports that the draft rule would require non-expert-generated AI evidence to be scrutinized under Rule 702 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, while exempting basic scientific instruments. Some committee members expressed uncertainty about adopting the rule, but all emphasized the need to act quickly as AI technology evolves. The panel also voted 8-1 to seek public feedback. The proposal now moves to the conference's Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure, which will decide in June whether to publish the proposal for public comment.
