THE AI JOKE
Why did the AI go to confession? It had a lot of processing to do.
TAKEAWAYS
- AI chats—including deleted ones—may now be preserved and used in legal cases, such as the ongoing NYT vs. OpenAI lawsuit.
- ChatGPT is not your therapist, lawyer, or priest. Confessions made to AI are not protected by any privilege.
- Businesses using AI tools casually—especially for internal dialogue or strategic planning—could be exposing themselves to future legal discovery.
- AI-fueled scams are rising, especially in crypto and deepfake impersonation. SMBs are often the most vulnerable.
- Despite the risks, saved AI chats can offer opportunities: proof of IP ideation, audit trails for HR or compliance, and public trust through transparency.
- The legal landscape around AI usage is still evolving—users and companies alike need to get ahead of policy gaps.
