Lehi, UT asked in Civil Litigation and Gov & Administrative Law for Utah

Q: Can AI-generated responses from Google be used as evidence in a legal case in Utah?

I'm involved in a legal case where the plaintiff has made several accusations against me. I've found AI-generated responses from Google that I believe prove these accusations wrong. I've never used Google responses as evidence before. Can I use these AI-generated responses as evidence in this situation?

A: Using AI-generated responses from Google as evidence in a legal case can be tricky. Courts typically require evidence to meet certain standards, including reliability and relevance. Since AI-generated responses are not created under controlled conditions and may not always be accurate or verifiable, it might be difficult for them to be accepted as credible evidence on their own.

You may need to provide additional context or support to show that the information is reliable and relevant to your case. This could involve corroborating the AI responses with other sources or expert testimony to ensure the court understands the context and validity of the information.

It’s a good idea to consult with a lawyer to determine if these AI-generated responses can be used effectively in your situation. They can help you assess whether the responses meet the necessary legal standards and if there’s a stronger way to present your evidence.
