“These cases demonstrate how courts can and will apply long-standing legal principles to emergent technologies but leave a great number of questions unresolved.” In “Heppner and Trinidad: Old Rules for New Technology” Rex W. Miller II and Graham D. Christian break down two recent federal district court decisions pertaining to the communication of sensitive information to AI tools. We thank Rex and Graham for reminding us that “even as the technology evolves, courts are likely to continue applying these longstanding legal principles as parties continue to test the boundaries for use of the AI tools.”
