Summary
The Canadian Judicial Council released updated guidance for judges on using AI and assessing digital evidence that may have been created or altered by AI. The evidence guidelines include checklists and warn that authentic evidence could also be wrongly dismissed as fake. The council says judges should consider fairness and access to justice when parties lack the resources to hire forensic experts.
