Recognizing the novel and rapid development of generative artificial intelligence ("generative AI") and its use in the practice of law, as well as its potential to produce misinformation or even to hallucinate, Rules of the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, Title 22, Ch.18, App. (2026), set forth as follows: Section I. GENERAL RULES OF THE COURT AND DEFINITIONS Rule 1.17 Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence A. Use. When generative artificial intelligence ("generative AI") has been used in the drafting of any document for filing in this Court, the party, or their counsel, shall ensure that any portion of the document produced or modified by generative AI, whether in whole or in part, has been verified as accurate by a person responsible for the document. B. Definition. For purposes of this Rule, "generative artificial intelligence" or "generative AI" is defined as any type of artificial intelligence that generates content or data in response to a prompt or query by a user. C. Sanctions. Failure to comply with the above requirements may result in the imposition of sanctions by this Court including, but not limited to, waiver of the affected issue(s) on appeal, striking of a non-compliant document from the record, and/or a finding of contempt.
