AB 316 — Artificial Intelligence: Defenses
AB 316 addresses the use of artificial intelligence in legal defenses, aiming to provide legal protections and procedural safeguards against potential harms caused by AI systems. The law is designed to ensure that AI systems used in legal contexts do not lead to discriminatory or unfair outcomes. It applies to legal proceedings in California where AI is used in defense mechanisms. The bill was enacted in October 2025 and is intended to mitigate risks associated with algorithmic decision-making in legal settings.
