Rakoff of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled that 31 documents that a defendant, Bradley Heppner, generated using a third-party AI tool (the “AI-Generated Documents”) were not protected by either the attorney-client privilege or the work product doctrine. Judge Rakoff’s ruling in the case, U.S. v. Heppner, appears to be the first in which a court determined that interactions with a publicly accessible AI tool based on prompts that contain privileged information are not themselves privileged.
