Barclay Damon Live: Cyber Sip—"Key Lessons: Heppner and Warner on Keeping Sensitive Data Out of Open AI"

Are you risking your legal case by chatting with open AI platforms like ChatGPT or Claude? You're not alone, and this episode reveals critical insights that could save your case—whether you're a lawyer, a client, or someone else handling sensitive information. In this eye-opening discussion, Kevin Szczepanski dissects two landmark cases—US v. Heppner and Warner v. Gilbarco—that show how courts are scrutinizing AI communications in both criminal and civil contexts. Learn why, in the Heppner case, using AI without a lawyer's guidance led to the betrayal of attorney-client privilege and why, in Warner, a pro se litigant’s use of AI didn’t waive work product protections. These rulings hold powerful lessons for anyone using AI to handle sensitive legal, financial, or personal information. Listen in for Kevin’s analysis, and stay tuned for updates on this increasingly important and complex topic.
