# ART checklist before Generative AI material is lodged

> The Tribunal's own checklist questions, asked before material is lodged, sent, presented or relied on. The checklist says it is a guide only and creates no new obligations. Read it with the Practice Direction.

## When to use it

Use immediately before lodging, sending, presenting or relying on Administrative Review Tribunal material where Generative AI has been used. The checklist does not replace the Practice Direction.

## Used for these tasks

- [Check an ART submission against the Generative AI Practice Direction checklist](https://ailawframework.com/practice/administrative-and-public-law/check-an-art-submission-against-the-generative-ai-practice-direction-che.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may set out the Tribunal's questions with a blank answer. The lawyer answers each one. The checklist creates no new obligation. The live task is Yellow.

**AI may:**

- Lay out each question from the checklist with a blank for the answer
- Point from a question back to the Practice Direction paragraph that deals with it

**AI must not:**

- Must not treat a ticked checklist as compliance
- Must not add obligations the checklist does not contain. It says it creates none
- Must not answer the evidence questions. Those are the witness's and the lawyer's

**The lawyer checks:**

- Each question is answered by reference to the Practice Direction, not by the checklist alone
- The final document reflects the person's own evidence, submission or instructions
- Disclosure and explanation can be given if the direction or the Tribunal requires them
