AI prompts are becoming part of the litigation record, not just a private path to an answer. In Conservation Law Foundation v. Shell Oil , a magistrate judge ruled that prompts or queries used by an expert and her team to help prepare an expert report were discoverable under Rule 26.

Legal will have to decide where convenience ends and governance begins. Read more at Google.
