A Reuters report published 24 July 2026 shows courts are beginning to treat AI prompts and outputs as a new category of electronic evidence. The key question is whether prompts reveal a lawyer’s mental impressions and strategy, and therefore qualify for privilege or work-product protection. Different courts are reaching different conclusions.
Every lawyer using ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, or any AI tool is potentially creating:
- prompts,
- uploaded documents,
- generated summaries,
- research trails.
The danger is not that ChatGPT reads your mind; it is that your strategic thinking is no longer trapped in your notebook.
