AI in Practice Is Your Client's AI Chat Discoverable? with Leslie Bender & Craig Linton
What happens if your client asks ChatGPT for advice about their case? Is that discoverable? Is it your fault if you didn't warn them it might be? Leslie Bender and Craig Linton join the show to unpack two cases: Heppner and Warner v Gilbarco, that seem to reach opposite conclusions as judges try to draw lines around privilege, work product, and AI in an area where the rules haven't caught up to the tools.
