Manpreet Kaur has worked for FutureTech, a Canadian College, for 12 years. She started as a secretary and then, given her expertise, was promoted to a Human Resource Manager with a work schedule of 40 hours/week, Monday to Friday. She has worked in this capacity for over 7 years. Before starting her job as a manager, given her access to proprietary information, Manpreet signed a Non-Disclosure and Non-Competition Agreements. Manpreet is paid an hourly wage (rather than a regular salary). Due to COVID-19, FutureTech decided unilaterally to change Manpreets working schedule and demanded that her hours be reduced to 27 hours per week. According to the new arrangement, Manpreet is also expected to be fully and solely responsible for drafting all legal forms/contracts for new employees. Manpreet has written to her manager explaining that she cannot afford to lose a few hours of work per week, which will reduce her income. She also pointed out that she cannot draft all forms/contracts for new employees sincManpreet Kaur has worked for FutureTech, a Canadian College, for 12 years.

Due to COVID-19, FutureTech decided unilaterally to change Manpreets working schedule and demanded that her hours be reduced to 27 hours per week. According to the new arrangement, Manpreet is also expected to be fully and solely responsible for drafting all legal forms/contracts for new employees.

Manpreet has written to her manager explaining that she cannot afford to lose a few hours of work per week, which will reduce her income. She also pointed out that she cannot draft all forms/contracts for new employees since this requires a lot of work and preparation. Finally, Manpreet contested that she needs to work a couple of days from home.

All Manpreets concerns and requests were ignored by FutureTech and she was not allowed to work from home. To coup with the load of her job, Manpreet started using AI Generative technology and advanced ChatGPT to draft and paraphrase documents, including legal documents in some cases. Little did Manpreet know that AI Generative technology in general and ChatGPT are not as accurate as many people think, and they, in many cases, generate a lot of false information and fake citation sources. One day, using AI Generative technology, Manpreet produced a fine-looking, well-paraphrased draft contract and presented it to her company as her own work. FutureTech liked the draft contract and decided to use it.
