In the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, the new Case Management Order requires a disclosure if any Artificial Intelligence is used to draft papers filed in case.

"--ATTORNEY/PRO SE PARTY CERTIFICATION AND VERIFICATIONREQUIREMENTS OF USE OF AI TECHNOLOGIES:

An attorney may ethically utilize AI technologies but only to the extent that the lawyer can reasonably guarantee compliance with the lawyer’s ethical obligations. Attorneys must comply with Florida law and the applicable Rules Regulating the Florida Bar. (See Florida Bar Ethics Opinion 24-1 (Jan. 19, 2024)).If any attorney or pro se party submits to the court any filing or submission containing AI-generated content, that attorney or pro se party must disclose the use of artificial intelligence on the face of the document and also must include a certification that the attorney or pro se party has personally reviewed and verified the content’s accuracy. Failure to include this certification or comply with this verification requirement will be grounds for sanctions, as permitted by law."
