Tribunals, Boards and Regulators
Can I use AI for my case before the Appeals Commission for Alberta Workers’ Compensation?
Yes. You can use AI to prepare your case before the Appeals Commission for Alberta Workers’ Compensation. But read these rules first:
Practice Guideline #8: Use of Artificial Intelligence at the AC (Effective: December 1, 2025)
- Be cautious: AI results can be wrong. Double-check results carefully. You are responsible for the accuracy of your submissions, even if AI helped prepare them.
- Use reliable sources: AI might give you incorrect or made-up sources. Verify any sources you rely on. Appeals Commission decisions can be verified on CanLII, and court decisions on trusted sources like court websites or CanLII.
- Consider privacy and confidentiality: the privacy and confidentiality of information and data provided to a generative AI platform may not be guaranteed. Providing personal information to an AI platform is at your own risk.

Alberta Court and Tribunal AI Rules Checker
This free tool answers a single question: can I use AI to prepare my case before a particular Alberta court, tribunal, or board? Choose from 27 Alberta adjudicative bodies and the checker tells you whether AI is permitted, what the governing practice direction or rule actually says, and whether you are required to declare or disclose that you used it, with a direct link to the source every time. It spans everything from the Court of Appeal of Alberta, the Court of King’s Bench, the Alberta Court of Justice, the Alberta Utilities Commission, and the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service (RTDRS), and many other tribunals and boards. Check out our other free tools below.
The rules vary widely and are moving quickly. A small number of bodies now require you to formally declare or disclose your use of AI, many more have issued softer guidance that stops short of a firm rule, and most still have no AI-specific policy at all. Notably, not one court or tribunal on this list bans AI outright, but every one of them still holds you responsible for what you file. Generative AI can invent fake case citations that look entirely real, and courts in Canada and beyond have already penalized the people who filed them, so verify every authority against a trusted source such as CanLII before you rely on it.
Disclaimer: This tool is provided for reference purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Practice directions and tribunal rules change often, so always confirm the current requirements directly with the relevant court, tribunal, or board before you file anything or rely on AI.
