What the 3M ChatGPT case reveals about AI governance
One detail in the Watson Grinding explosion litigation involving 3M changed the way I think about prompt governance.
AI Summary
In the Watson Grinding explosion litigation, an engineering expert retained by 3M used ChatGPT while preparing his analysis. A prompt surfaced that asked the AI to “show how 3M is 0% at fault.” The case does not show that 3M directed the expert to use ChatGPT or to enter that prompt. During the expert’s deposition, plaintiffs’ attorney Will Moye questioned him after finding material that appeared to be generated by ChatGPT, demanding the underlying prompts. Roughly three hours later, more than 350 pages of previously unproduced ChatGPT material were produced, expanding the inquiry beyond the expert’s finished report.
AI summaries can be wrong sometimes—always verify important details using the source article.
