Regulating Technology in Court Reporting

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) threatens the accuracy and integrity of court reporting. These technologies are unreliable in legal settings, where precision is critical. To protect due process, strict regulations must prohibit AI and ASR from replacing certified human court reporters. Upholding the principle of “Responsible Charge” ensures accountability, ethical standards, and the continued trustworthiness of legal transcripts.
