A federal trial judge in Texas recently mentioned the possibility of revoking his standing order regarding certification of work done by artificial intelligence tools. US District Judge Brantley Starr highlighted that if it becomes evident in the future that people are more aware of the flaws associated with these platforms, he may reconsider the need for attorneys to certify AI-generated work for accuracy. Judge Starr made these remarks during a panel discussion at a bench-bar conference for the Northern District of Texas on April 19.

He acknowledged that when he initially implemented the certification requirement last year, the issues surrounding AI's potential to create misinformation or inaccuracies were not widely recognized. However, the evolving understanding of these concerns may necessitate a reevaluation of the necessity for certification.
