If you are not reading the reports on recent case law, regarding the use of artificial intelligence to create material you send to your attorney to aid in your defense, or for any other purpose connected with your work, please note that most of the decisions have held that your AI research is NOT protected by attorney-client privilege, and it is not considered part of the Work Product privilege either. To make matters worse, the courts have generally ruled that there is "No Expectation of Privacy" when using AI, so that defense will not work for you either.
Therefore, when preparing material for your counsel, in connection with any matter which constitutes preparation for litigation, think twice before accessing that chatbot, before you send your material to your lawyer; just saying. Let your lawyer or law firm do the damn AI search, and do not try to create a privilege by stating in your transmittal to your counsel that you conducted the research under their supervision and direction, for I have no confidence that this ploy will succeed either. Therefore, stay away for AI, in my humble opinion, when it comes to creating material which has any chance of being transmitted to your lawyer, for any purpose, lest you find out, to your dismay, that your private litigation strategy can be accessed and read by opposing counsel. be very careful here; your love affair with AI may come back to bite you in the back.
