Research and Oversight of AI in Courts Act of 2026

This bill would require the Attorney General, through the National Institute of Justice, to create a 15-member task force within 60 days to study the use of AI speech-to-text and automatic speech recognition tools in state and federal courts. The task force would look at accuracy, privacy, civil liberties, costs, cybersecurity, and whether such records should be labeled. Non-federal members could not work for or be paid by companies that make or sell AI technology. The task force would send status reports to Congress every 4 months and a final report with recommendations within 18 months, and then it would end.
