- AI chatbot chats may be used as court evidence.
- Users share sensitive information with AI.
- Attorney-client privilege may not apply.
- Alternative legal protections might exist.
Conversations with AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, which users may treat as confidantes or substitutes for professional advice, could potentially be used as evidence in court. Israelis are sharing sensitive information with these platforms, sometimes in lieu of consulting lawyers, but this data may not be protected by attorney-client privilege.
While attorney-client privilege is unlikely to apply, a less common form of legal privilege might offer some protection. The temptation to receive immediate, detailed, and free answers from AI is significant, but the chats could become detrimental evidence against users.
