Quebec courts say generative AI cannot replace judges’ reasoning
Quebec courts have issued new guidelines restricting judges' use of generative artificial intelligence, emphasizing that judging must remain a fundamentally human responsibility. The guidelines, adopted by multiple courts in the province, state that while generative AI can be used for certain supporting tasks, it cannot replace judicial reasoning, assessment of evidence, or deliberation.
Judges remain fully responsible for their legal reasoning, the contents of their decisions, and the accuracy of the facts, references, quotations, and legal authorities they cite.
