The Fifth Circuit's original AI order (signed April 2, 2026) required every filing containing AI-generated content to disclose AI use on the face of the document, include a scripted certification block, and identify the specific AI tool used — with sanctions up to Bar referral. Superseded June 15, 2026 by A-2026-13-A, which eliminated all three requirements after AOSC26-12 preemption.
HISTORICAL — SUPERSEDED. Original requirements (Apr. 2 – Jun. 15, 2026): (1) §2: when AI was used in preparation, research, drafting, filing or discovery, "the document shall identify the specific tool used in such manner"; (2) §6 Certification: "All filings or submissions containing AI-generated content must disclose the use of AI on the face of the document, pleading, and/or filing" and include verbatim: "The undersigned hereby certifies that artificial intelligence was used in the preparation of [TITLE OF DOCUMENT BEING FILED]. The undersigned has independently verified the accuracy of every citation to the law and/or the record, and the accuracy of any language drafted by generative artificial intelligence, including quotations, citations, paraphrased assertions, facts, and legal analysis."; (3) §7 prohibited "undisclosed substantive AI drafting" and "unverified AI legal analysis"; (4) §9 sanctions: contempt, striking of pleadings, dismissal, fines, attorney fees, Florida Bar referral. SUPERSESSION: A-2026-13-A §10 states "This Administrative Order supersedes Administrative Order A-2026-13 and shall take effect June 15, 2026 at 12:01 a.m." — the amended title dropped the words "Disclosure of AI Use, The Certification of AI Generated Information."

Reviewer note: Full original recovered by BenchPath 2026-07-20 (sha256 cfeb771f…) — prior research pass could not locate the text or exact URL. Wayback 2026-04-15 snapshot corroborates original title. | Set to in_review 2026-07-26: the order's subject looks practitioner-facing but the extracted text captured only recitals or an effective date, not the operative ORDERED section. This is an extraction defect, not a judgement that the order is unimportant — it needs re-extraction before it goes back on the published surface. PUBLISHED 2026-09-02 (July-hold adjudication by full text): the superseded Fifth Circuit AI mandate, preserved as the historical chain entry the tracker renders; supersession stated verbatim.
