A.I. Discovery

Disputes over the scope of discovery into A.I. – – for example, whether prompts are discoverable – – has led to a lot of debate. The issue was raised but not answered in Adams v. Best Western International, Inc., 2025WL 3560163 (D. Neb. Dec. 11, 2025).

On the issue of discovery related to artificial intelligence, the court wrote:

With respect to Defendants’ requests for transcripts of Plaintiff’s “communications” as it pertains to Plaintiff’s use of AI software, chatbots, or other AI tools, the Court finds that Plaintiff, through counsel, has satisfied his obligation to respond to Defendants’ requests for production of “communications,” and that additional efforts are not proportional to the needs of the case.

Id. at *1.  That’s it.
