Generative Artificial Intelligence. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) refers to technology that can mimic human ability to learn and create based on the underlying training data and guided by a user or prompt. Generative AI tools are therefore capable of performing complex decision-making or creative tasks typically performed by humans or with human oversight. Several forms of generative AI technology are currently widely accessible to consumers and can perform a wide range of functions. 

Any party must disclose any generative AI language learning model tool used to conduct legal research or to draft documents for filing with a Washington court. The disclosure must include the specific AI tool used and the way it was used. A party must certify that all citations to the law or record have been verified as accurate. 

The disclosure and verification requirements do not apply to the use of legal research products that include editorial content or annotations produced by the product vendor without the use of generative AI.
