In an extraordinary unification appeal citing rulings the Court's reporting office could not locate, the Council of State held that AI may only assist with searching and organising information, that all AI output requires human verification, that adjudication is non-delegable, and that AI-detection tools are too unreliable to carry judicial weight. It referred the lawyer for discipline.
