This CLE course delves into the complex and evolving intersection of Artificial intelligence (AI) and the foundational legal principle of attorney-client privilege. As AI tools become increasingly integrated into legal practice, from legal research and document review to predictive analytics and client communication, new challenges and ethical considerations arise concerning the protection of confidential client information.

The course will explore how the use of AI might impact the creation, maintenance, and potential waiver of the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine. We will analyze recent case law, ethical opinions, and regulatory guidance to understand best practices for lawyers deploying AI in their work.

Through practical scenarios and hypothetical cases, attendees will learn to identify potential pitfalls and develop strategies to mitigate risks associated with AI-driven legal services while upholding their professional obligations to confidentiality.
