A governance framework adopted by the Superior Court of Quebec in September 2025 for the court's own AI use, alongside a chatbot pilot as a judicial support tool. It sets six principles: transparency and public confidence, judicial independence, support for judicial functions, ethics and professional conduct, caution, and responsibility, and requires rigorous verification of AI-generated content.

What the document requires

  • AI supports judicial functions; it does not replace judicial deliberation or decision.
  • Six governing principles: transparency and public confidence, judicial independence, support for judicial functions, ethics, caution, responsibility.
  • Content generated by AI must always be rigorously verified by the judge or support staff using it, because of hallucination risk.
