When the Chatbot Becomes the Witness: AI Chat Logs and Internal Investigations in Latin America

Your employees are telling AI tools things they would never put in an email. They paste in draft contracts, ask how to word a tricky message to a regulator, and think out loud about deals that haven’t closed. Every one of those prompts leaves a record, and U.S. courts have started deciding whether those records are discoverable and admissible.

For multinationals with operations in Latin America, the problem gets harder. A U.S. litigant or regulator may expect to see an AI chat log that local data protection law in Mexico, Brazil, or Colombia restricts you from collecting, transferring, or reviewing.

This session is a practical conversation about an area that is moving fast. We won’t hand you a finished playbook, because nobody has one yet. You’ll leave knowing which questions your team should be asking now.

Key Themes

• AI interactions as a new data source in investigations. U.S. courts are beginning to address the discoverability and admissibility of AI chat logs, raising questions about how companies should think about preservation, collection, and review of this emerging category of employee data.
• Echoes of the off-channel messaging wave. The SEC/CFTC enforcement actions around WhatsApp and other unapproved platforms offer a useful analogy. AI tools may present similar record-keeping and oversight considerations that compliance teams should be thinking through.
• Cross-border complexity in LatAm. Data protection regimes across the region may create tension with U.S. disclosure expectations when AI logs are at issue. This is a practical challenge for multinationals with operations in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and elsewhere.
• Governance considerations. What are companies doing (or should they be doing) around AI-specific policies, litigation hold protocols, and custodian interview practices?
