Joint Resolution Amending Rules of Evidence to Address Machine-Generated Evidence
House/ to Lieutenant Governor
Summary
The resolution adds Rule 707 to the Utah Rules of Evidence, defining machine‑generated evidence and establishing when it may be admitted without an expert witness. It requires such evidence to be reliable, based on sufficient data, and helpful to the fact‑finder, while excluding simple scientific instruments. The rule aims to ensure that autonomous system outputs used in lawsuits meet the same rigor as expert testimony.
