NSW Supreme Court AI Guidelines - Analysis & Improvements

In this podcast, we critically review Practice Note SC Gen 23 from the Supreme Court of New South Wales, which outlines how Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) should be used in legal proceedings.

We explore key shortcomings of the current guidelines, including:

The overly broad "blanket ban" on sensitive data
Vague confidentiality and compliance requirements
Lack of standardized transparency measures
Insufficient provisions to address hallucination risks and accountability
We offer practical recommendations to refine the framework, ensuring it better balances innovation, access to justice, and legal integrity. This is essential listening for lawyers, judges, legal educators, and anyone interested in the future of AI in law.
