“But I Wore the Lemon Juice”: AI, Confidence, Confidentiality, and the Novel Risks Facing In-House Counsel

Abstract

Contemporary lessons for international in-house counsel can emerge from strange places. In 1995, McArthur Wheeler and Clifton Earl Johnson robbed two Pittsburgh banks at gunpoint without the disguises typically used by criminals to avoid capture. Rather than wearing masks, they applied lemon juice to their faces, believing it would blur their appearance on the security cameras. Their reasoning was based on the theory that since lemon juice could be used to make invisible ink, their juice covered faces would not be visible on camera because of some assumed special property of lemons.
