Ensures attorney-client privilege remains intact when AI is used in legal processes.

This bill amends the civil practice law to ensure that communications and work products protected by attorney-client privilege do not lose their protected status merely because they are processed by artificial intelligence. It mandates that clients must authorize the use of AI in their legal matters. The bill also stipulates that pro se litigants are presumptively covered by these protections. The changes take effect immediately upon enactment.
