Guide on Use of Generative AI Tools by Court Users
Principles and guidance on the use of generative AI tools in legal proceedings.
Why it matters
Singapore's Supreme Court, through Registrar's Circular No. 1 of 2024, established that AI is usable but liability cannot be transferred, predating dedicated AI legislation and potentially serving as a model for other regulators.

Detailed Notes
In 2024, the Supreme Court of Singapore issued the Guide on the Use of Generative AI Tools by Court Users (Registrar's Circular No. 1 of 2024), applicable across the entire court system. Core principles: lawyers and parties bear ultimate responsibility for all materials submitted to court, regardless of whether AI was used to generate them; legal documents prepared with GenAI assistance must disclose the AI use; cited cases and statutory provisions must be verified by a human. The guide reflects the judiciary's pragmatic stance on AI tools — not banning their use, but making clear that human responsibility cannot be transferred.
