Court Rules AI Chats Not Protected by Privilege
Robert-Nogacki · reddit · 2026-07-10
The post discusses a financial executive who inputted defense strategies into Claude, which the FBI later seized during a search. A Manhattan judge ruled these chats aren't protected by attorney-client privilege because Claude isn't a lawyer, and consumer terms allow data collection, training, and disclosure. The post also compares related rulings in Michigan and Colorado: one treats AI as a tool and protects ChatGPT drafts; the other requires disclosing the platform name, emphasizing that tools are only safer if contracts guarantee no training, no disclosure, and deletion capabilities.
