It's Not the Output. It's the Input.

A federal judge just ruled that privilege didn't protect a defendant's conversations with consumer Claude. Most of the coverage told you what he decided. Almost none of it told you what he left open or where the real risk actually lives. It's not the AI-assisted memo. It's what you fed in to produce it. And if you're using Claude Cowork, there's a second problem that has nothing to do with waiver and everything to do with what happens when you have to defend the privilege in court. I went to Anthropic's own support pages to understand the exposure. What I found should be in every in-house legal team's AI policy.
