Summary

In this episode, Katherine Forrest and Scott Caravello examine two recent federal court decisions on whether AI-generated materials are protected by the attorney-client privilege and the work product doctrine. They break down those decisions, United States v. Heppner and Warner v. Gilbarco, explaining how and why the outcomes diverged, the different factual footings, and what these decisions may (or may not) mean for future disputes. ## Learn More About Paul, Weiss’s Artificial Intelligence practice:https://www.paulweiss.com/industries/artificial-intelligence
