California legislature passes lawyer AI verification bill
California lawmakers passed SB 574, which would bar lawyers from delegating legal practice to generative AI, require verification of AI output and citations, restrict disclosure of confidential information, and constrain arbitrators' use of outside-record AI. The bill now awaits the governor.
Why it matters: If signed, the measure would turn familiar professional-duty guidance into explicit verification, confidentiality and disclosure requirements for legal AI workflows in California.
