New York Courts AI Filing Rules Tracker
Court- and judge-level AI filing rules in the covered New York courts — the provisions of judges' individual practices and the court orders on generative AI in filings, where a covered court or judge has adopted them — tracked verbatim from the issuing courts. At activation the covered courts are the federal courts in New York; the state courts' own rules are not yet covered. Each entry below links its verified rule card with citation, confidence, and last-verified date.
The answer in one screen
Do New York courts require you to disclose AI use in court filings?
BenchPath answers only from its verified corpus. The tracker on this page lists every New York AI-specific instrument BenchPath has verified in the covered courts — read live from the published rules, each with its official citation, confidence label and last-verified date — so the current answer is the tracked list itself. Requirements vary by court and by judge: read the court's own rule and the assigned judge's individual practices before filing, and treat a court with no tracked instrument as 'none on record with BenchPath', never as 'no requirement'.

Regime highlights from the covered courts
A curated tour of the strongest tracked regimes appears here once instruments are verified — it is never written ahead of the corpus. The complete tracked list is read live from the verified corpus in “Every tracked New York AI rule” below, so a newly published covered-court instrument appears there the moment it publishes.
A coverage statement, not a statewide answer
This page speaks from the instruments the federal courts in New York publish and BenchPath has read; it makes no claim about a posting BenchPath has not read since the last sweep, and none about the New York state courts, whose rules are not yet covered. Verify any court's requirements against the court's own postings.

Read live from the verified corpus — newest first. A newly published covered-court AI rule appears here automatically.
Struck-through entries are preempted or vacated but still posted — kept verbatim as history, never deleted.
