We're seeing AI being used A LOT in documentation related to workplace disputes, grievances and claims that we get involved in. Sometimes it's useful, but at other times it frankly adds time, cost and occasionally ill-feeling for very little value.
Not surprisingly, AI is also being used in matters before the Fair Work Commission (indeed, a Fair Work Commission representative recently stated to a Senate committee that โ40 to 50% of people were telling us that AI had been used to make an application to the Commissionโ).
In response, the Fair Work Commission has now released a ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ญ๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฌ. It brings with it new responsibilities for parties using AI in matters before the Commission. In a nutshell, ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐๐๐ซ ๐๐๐๐, if you use GenAI to prepare documents, you'll need to disclose it and explain how it was used. And you'll bear full responsibility for ensuring its accuracy and relevance.
We personally think it's a useful step.
