Artificial Intelligence Regulation from the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation
The Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation has implemented mandatory declaration and certification rules for the use of artificial intelligence in legal filings.
The Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation has implemented a new directive regulating the use of artificial intelligence in legal documents. The regulation introduces mandatory declaration and auditing rules to ensure transparency, while outlining various penalties for non-compliance.
Implementation of the Directive
The new directive on the use of artificial intelligence, prepared by the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation, officially entered into force on August 26, 2026.
Transparency and Declaration Obligation
The published regulation does not ban the use of artificial intelligence tools in petitions and motions, but imposes an obligation of transparency and accountability on the parties.
Certification and Accuracy Audit
Lawyers and unrepresented parties are required to explicitly state whether they have used artificial intelligence in their filings. When artificial intelligence is used, a sworn certificate must be attached demonstrating that the citations have been independently verified.
Evidence Management and Prohibitions
Evidence generated or edited using artificial intelligence must also be disclosed. While elements such as reconstruction videos are accepted, fraudulent evidence such as deepfakes is strictly prohibited.
Penalties
For those who fail to comply with the new rules, penalties ranging from one hundred to one thousand dollars will be applied, along with sanctions such as referral to the Enforcement Division.
