Unveiling AI in eDiscovery: Navigating Ethics, Techniques, and Future Impacts

While artificial intelligence may be causing a lot of discussion about the future of the legal profession, it already plays a central role in the eDiscovery process. Electronic discovery is an essential part of litigation, but with already large and growing volumes of structured and unstructured data that attorneys must sort through, AI can significantly enhance the eDiscovery process. AI technology can improve this critical legal process by drastically impacting how legal teams spend their valuable time, increasing efficiency, and reducing costs. It also offers numerous technical advantages, including quicker identification of relevant documents and greater insight into the subject matter. Attorneys today will want to understand how they can incorporate AI into their eDiscovery process and be confident in its best practices.
In this CLE webinar, our expert panelists begin by discussing the uses of artificial intelligence for eDiscovery, the relevant ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, and comparing the AI technologies used for eDiscovery. Next, our speakers discuss the roles and benefits of AI for eDiscovery in the litigation process. Finally, our experts conclude with a discussion of the future of legal AI and AI in the legal profession in general.
