Quebec Courts Set Common Guidelines for Judges' Use of Generative AI
Quebec's Court of Appeal, Superior Court, Court of Quebec and municipal courts adopted shared guidelines for judicial use of generative AI. They emphasize that judicial reasoning and decisions remain human responsibilities, while permitting bounded assistance.
PARADIGM INSIGHTS:
Common AI guidance across Quebec courts gives litigants a consistent baseline: the judge, not a model, owns the reasons. The next step is an inspectable record of how generated material was checked and a way to correct an error that affects a case. Shared guidance is useful precisely because court accountability should not depend on which courthouse hears the matter.
