In one paragraph

New York's A 8546 would add CPLR Rule 2107, requiring any paper or file served that was drafted with the assistance of generative artificial intelligence to attach a separate affidavit disclosing that use and certifying that a human being has reviewed the source material and verified the content is accurate. CPLR 5528(a) would require the same disclosure in an appellant's brief. Would take effect on the 90th day after it becomes law. Introduced May 20, 2025 and referred to the Judiciary Committee (again January 7, 2026); it has not passed either chamber.

What it means for business

None yet: the bill is pending. If enacted, lawyers and parties serving court papers drafted with generative AI would have to attach an affidavit disclosing the use and certifying human verification.

Key provisions

  1. CPLR Rule 2107(A): a paper or file served that was drafted with the assistance of generative AI must attach a separate affidavit disclosing the use and certifying a human reviewed the source material and verified the AI-generated content is accurate
  2. "Generative artificial intelligence" is defined broadly as machine learning technology, software, automation and algorithms performing tasks or making rules or predictions, with five listed categories
  3. Rule 2107(C): where no generative AI was used in drafting, no disclosure is required
  4. CPLR 5528(a)(6) (new): an appellant's brief must include the Rule 2107 disclosure and certification if required
  5. The text states no penalty or private right of action; would take effect on the 90th day after it becomes law; referred to Judiciary, with no further action
