NCRA ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) POSITION STATEMENT

NCRA remains committed to ensuring the official record is created directly from

the court reporter’s and/or captioner’s own work product.

We recognize the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a supplemental tool but

firmly hold the position that AI or Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)

technologies cannot replace a trained, certified, impartial human court reporter

and/or captioner in the creation, preservation, and certification of the official

record. Human oversight is essential to ensure accuracy, context, reliability, and

ethical stewardship of the record.
