Relativity Master Class Session: Generative AI’s Impact on e-Discovery: What Every Practitioner Needs to Know 

Tuesday, August 13  •  3:30 PM CDT
Tennessee CDE

Generative AI has become an integral part of our lives, and the court systems are no exception. In the early days of ChatGPT, headlines emerged about attorneys using the technology to produce fake case citations in court filings, resulting in various standing orders and bar guidelines limiting or restricting the use of generative AI—and in some situations, all AI.

No reported case has yet addressed generative AI in the context of e-discovery, but we don’t need a crystal ball to predict that the issue will soon come to a head. Before we get to that point, it would benefit all parties—counsel and judges alike—to better understand the benefits and challenges of this technology and how it works in the context of document review.

In this session, we’ll help you do just that. Join us to explore the history of generative AI, real-world AI uses cases in e-discovery, and some best practices for using generative AI in document review.
