(2) An attorney shall not delegate the practice of law to generative artificial intelligence. (3) An attorney who uses generative artificial intelligence to assist in the practice of law shall do all of the following: (A) Not enter confidential, personal identifying, and other nonpublic information into a generative artificial intelligence system for which access to confidential, personal identifying, or other nonpublic information the attorney inputs into the system is not restricted to the attorney and persons authorized by the attorney under obligations to protect the confidentiality of the information. (B) Take reasonable steps to do both of the following: (i) Verify the accuracy of generative artificial intelligence outputs, including, but not limited to, the accuracy of all case and statutory citations. (ii) Correct any erroneous or hallucinated output in any material used by the attorney. (C) Disclose the use of generative artificial intelligence to the court for all documents submitted to the court and consider whether to disclose the use of generative artificial intelligence if it is used to create content provided to the public.",
