In response to the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence, the New Jersey Supreme Court Committee on Artificial Intelligence and the Courts has issued preliminary guidelines which stress that the core ethical responsibilities of lawyers have not changed.

The committee setting the guidelines is made up of more than 30 members from public and private practice, judges, judiciary leaders, technologists and experts in academia and media. The notice on the preliminary guidelines noted that it is the advent of generative AI, a subset of AI in which machine-based systems create text or images based on predictive models derived from training with large datasets, which presents many benefits, as well as ethical concerns.
