As government contractors rapidly integrate artificial intelligence into their businesses for proposal drafting, compliance monitoring, and contract performance, a critical legal vulnerability around privilege has emerged. This presentation explores the intersection of AI tools and the attorney-client and work product privilege, providing in-house counsel an overview of recent judicial decisions and bar guidance, as well as practical strategies to protect sensitive communications. Attendees will learn how to leverage AI's capabilities without inadvertently waiving privilege or exposing proprietary data to third parties and government auditors. This session also will cover key AI developments of interest to government contractors, including new proposed regulations and updates relating to Government supply chain risk designations and Anthropic litigation.
