Hi Stephen,

ok, this is interesting.

On a separate issue in a separate domain, the president of the high 
court of Ireland published a set of guidelines on Wednesday regarding 
the use of generative AI for legal documents.

I haven't read the document thoroughly yet, but it's an interim legal 
guidance document so is likely to have had some competent thought put 
into it. Perhaps there are things in the document that could be used to 
inform the ietf discussion / your ID.

Nick
