By
petethomas
Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
This article warns about the legal risks of using AI in the workplace, particularly when employees feed sensitive or confidential information into AI tools. It argues that data shared with AI systems can be used against companies in court, as AI outputs may be discoverable and lack attorney-client privilege. The author cautions that management consultants are pushing AI adoption for efficiency gains without adequately addressing these legal vulnerabilities, especially as younger workers increasingly rely on AI for complex tasks.
