An act to add Section 6060.15 to the Business and Professions Code, relating to attorneys.
AI Summary
This bill requires the State Bar of California, which is the organization that licenses and regulates attorneys in the state, to be transparent about its use of artificial intelligence (AI) in developing and administering its examinations and related study materials. Specifically, the bill defines "artificial intelligence" as a system that can learn from input and generate outputs that affect the real or digital world, and "artificial intelligence-generated content" as any text or images created by such systems. The State Bar will need to disclose when AI-generated content is used in creating or administering its bar exams, including any questions, answer keys, or scoring guides. Furthermore, if the State Bar publishes or endorses study materials for these exams, such as practice questions or model answers, it must also disclose if AI was used to create that content. These disclosure requirements will apply even if a human reviews or revises the AI-generated material, and the new rules will take effect on January 1, 2028.
