Jamaica has become one of the first Caribbean countries to implement clear rules for how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used in its courts.
The guidelines were announced by Chief Justice Bryan Sykes, today.
They are designed to ensure that AI enhances justice delivery without undermining fairness, accuracy, or integrity.
The rules apply to the Supreme Court, the Revenue Court, the High Court and the Circuit Divisions of the Gun Court.
Acknowledging that there is a growing use of AI in the preparation of legal documents, the Chief Justice called for this to be responsible, secure and transparent to ensure that the integrity of the judicial process is maintained.
He noted that there are numerous benefits of Generative AI.
The Chief Justice has also urged attorneys to thoroughly review documents done with the assistance of AI before submission to the court.
