Attorney-Client Privilege Concerns
ABA Formal Opinion 512 warns about cloud AI and privilege risks
"Lawyers must be careful when using generative AI tools that may transmit, store, or access client information on third-party servers. Such use may implicate the duty of confidentiality and could potentially waive attorney-client privilege."
When using cloud-based AI like Lexis+ AI with client documents, you're trusting a third party with privileged information. Vult's air-gapped approach eliminates this concern entirely.
