Kobre & Kim’s Alexandria Swette was quoted in a recent Reuters article examining the implications of artificial intelligence tools on attorney–client privilege. In the article, she cautioned: “We are telling our clients: You should proceed with caution here,” highlighting the potential risks that communications with AI platforms may not be protected and could be subject to discovery.
The coverage follows a recent court ruling raising questions about whether AI chatbot interactions are privileged, underscoring growing legal and regulatory scrutiny around the use of AI in sensitive communications.
The Reuters article builds on the firm’s recent client alert, User Beware: AI and the Potential Lack of Attorney-Client Privilege, which explores how evolving legal frameworks may impact confidentiality expectations.
