From www.themandarin.com.au: Chief Justice Andrew Bell has relaxed restrictions on the use of generative AI in NSW courts, allowing legal practitioners to use AI tools for preparing submissions, briefs, and summaries, but prohibiting their use for affidavits or witness statements.

The updated practice note mandates that users must ensure data will only be used for court proceedings, effectively excluding popular large language models like ChatGPT due to their data usage policies.

This change follows a recent incident where a lawyer faced complaints for using AI to generate court documents with false information.
