The increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the legal profession raises important questions about the protection of sensitive information, including attorney-client or legal professional privilege.
ACC conducted a survey of 456 in-house counsel globally to gather high-level insights into the concerns, practices, and perspectives of the potential impact of AI on legal privilege. Hover over the chart to learn more about how concerned in-house counsel participants are about disclosing privileged information when using AI globally and in select countries.
The survey results reveal significant concerns about potential breaches of legal privilege when using AI tools. While recognizing that the risk varies based on factors like the specific AI tool, data input, purpose, and security measures, many believe establishing clear guidelines for using AI in legal practice can help mitigate these risks.
