A U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit judge said this week that he’s worried court rules requiring lawyers to disclose their use of artificial intelligence could deter them from using the technology at all, despite its potential benefits for the practice of law.

Judge John Nalbandian said court rules mandating AI disclosure are partly a result of negative messages and skepticism about the tools. So if a lawyer admits to using it, judges may question the accuracy of the filing, he said.
