Answer.

Evidence / professional-responsibility rule · FRE 707 (proposed).

It can be, but it must clear the same reliability bar as other technical evidence — relevance, authentication, and a reliability foundation — and proposed Federal Rule of Evidence 707 would explicitly subject machine-generated evidence offered without a sponsoring expert to FRE 702's reliability factors. There is no automatic admission for AI output. Planisphere produces a reproducible, sha-pinned record of how a model behaves, which helps lay a reliability foundation; it does not certify admissibility or give legal advice.
