A federal judge has denied a bid by Richard Kim, charged with securities fraud, to block a search warrant that seeks data from OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT.<br \/>\n  &#8211; The warrant aims to obtain records of Kim&#8217;s communications with the chatbot, which prosecutors believe could contain evidence of his alleged scheme to defraud investors in his crypto venture Zero Edge.<br \/>\n  &#8211; Judge Lorna Schofield lifted a temporary block on the search warrant but allowed Kim to argue later that any evidence obtained could not be used.<br \/>\n  &#8211; Prosecutors argue that Kim&#8217;s records from AI platforms are not protected by attorney-client privilege as chatbots are not considered lawyers.<br \/>\n  &#8211; The case highlights unresolved legal questions regarding attorney-client privilege and communications with artificial intelligence systems.<br \/>\n  &#8211; This case parallels another decision where Judge Jed Rakoff ruled that communications with an AI chatbot were not shielded by attorney-client privilege.<br \/>\n  &#8211; Neither Kim\u2019s lawyers nor prosecutors immediately commented on the ruling.<br \/>\n  &#8211; The case emphasizes the lack of legal clarity around interactions with AI in the context of legal and criminal investigations.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judge allows US search warrant targeting executive&#8217;s AI chatbot records https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/legal\/government\/judge-allows-us-search-warrant-targeting-executives-ai-chatbot-records-2026-06-23\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-23 13:05:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":235995,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/resizer\/v2\/XQY67RPPJRMQNGCMT4MV2BOCFQ.jpg?auth=88d0b87becbc5930649107761725475e37feff147b7713adcb1c925684fd150f&height=1005&width=1920&quality=80&smart=true","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-235993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235993"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235993"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235993\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":235996,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235993\/revisions\/235996"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
