Docket text. ORDER ON DISCLOSURE AND CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Signed by Magistrate Judge Bill Davis on 4/16/2026. (mmc) (Entered: 04/16/2026)

Although AI can be a helpful tool, it can—and often do es—generate flawed, or even fake, content. And when a nonexistent or inaccurate citation appears in a court filing, [t]he opposing party wastes time and money in exposing the deception. The Court’s time is taken from other important endeavors.

What the text mentions

Pattern matches on the documents' text. Each line is a fact that the text contains the words, not a finding about the case.
