Comment A dangerous precedent on lack of privilege (Score 2) 72
Destroying attorney client privilege just because some words touch AI is a dangerous concept in an age where AI touches more of our lives. So much of what we do passes through some level of 'AI' whether we ask it to or not. My entering these words is facilitated by the swiping keyboard on my phone. There is processing done to guess what words I want. Does that mean everything I write is now exposed? Sadly, yes.
If this ruling is allowed to stand as precedent, you may be left with scribbling notes on paper as the only way to keep your legal materials privileged.
Well, that or a truly dumb word processor that absolutely cannot connect to the Internet.
Or... An AI is created that is given a status that allows it to preserve attorney client privilege.
