Gaining an understanding of the potential impacts of generative AI has become increasingly important to state court administrators. To help demystify this emerging technology, the Conference of State Court Administrators (COSCA) has published, “Generative AI and the Future of the Courts.”

This policy paper recognizes the historical impact of artificial intelligence on court operations and procedures—both positive and negative—from streamlining administrative tasks to supplementing efforts to provide greater access to justice.

“COSCA believes that generative AI is poised to change the workplace as dramatically as the introduction of computers and case management software did in the early 1980s. We believe it can be used to substantially improve employee processes in many areas beyond legal research,” the paper states.

The comprehensive, 16-page policy paper outlines AI’s transformative potential within the judicial system and provides guidance for courts on its responsible implementation.
