Summary

The Surrogate Court of New York (i.e., essentially a probate court), in a case of first impression, determined the testimony of an expert witness to be unreliable and set standards for admission of testimony and reports based in part on the use of AI, including disclosure of the use of AI and the conduct of a Frye (similar to Daubert) hearing.
