CIT Judge Baker Requires Disclosure When AI Used in Preparing Briefs

Court of International Trade Judge M. Miller Baker is requiring that any filings before him after Aug. 4 that use generative AI must include a "certification" disclosing that AI was used. Any submission in a case before Baker prepared with the assistance of an AI program "based on natural language prompts -- such as, but not limited to, ChatGPT or Google Bard -- must include a statement" that identifies the program used and the specific part of the text prepared with AI. Counsel also must submit a certification that no confidential information has been disclosed to the AI program. Baker is the second CIT judge to require such disclosure after former Judge Stephen Vaden implemented a similar disclosure requirement when he was on the bench.
