Some of the Court's standing orders address the Court's idiosyncrasies, such as its procedures for filing summary judgment motions. But other standing orders—which are unfortunately necessary—are often terse reminders that all filers need to follow statutes, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Local Rules for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The Court believes that a reasonable standing order on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) would fall into the latter category. So here's this Court's standing order on AI: Anyone—counsel and unrepresented parties alike—using AI in connection with the filing of a pleading, motion, or paper in this Court or the serving/delivering of a request, response, or objection to discovery must comply with Rule 11(b) and Rule 26(g) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and any other relevant rule, including any applicable ethical rule. See Maura R. Grossman, Paul W. Grimm & Daniel G. Brown, Is Disclosure and Certification of the Use of Generative AI Really Necessary?, 107 Judicature 68 (2023).
