The conversation between human and AI assistant.
An ex-employer is saying that I passed confidential information to a rival. Am I right in saying that they would only be able to sue me for damages if they could prove that I passed their secrets to rivals?
Okay, that makes sense. Would they also be able to seek criminal charges against me?
It's possible that criminal charges could be brought against you if the alleged breach of confidentiality is deemed to be a criminal offense. However, this would also depend on the specifics of the situation and would need to be determined by a court of law.
