Trinidad and Tobago judiciary issues practice direction on AI use in courts
Judiciary of Trinidad and Tobago — Chief Justice Ronnie Boodoosingh has signed off on a Practice Direction on the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Court Proceedings, giving Trinidad and Tobago's Judiciary a rulebook for AI use in courts. Staff may lean on the tool for drafting and admin only once outputs are checked by a person, fabricating evidence with it is banned outright, and its use must be flagged in any filing; reasoning through a case or writing a judgment stays strictly a human job for judicial officers, so generative AI in judicial proceedings stops there. Fabricated citations and confidentiality leaks were the risks driving the change.
