Program Summary

Courts appear to be embracing AI and GenAI technologies for eDiscovery workflows, but with clear expectations around transparency and defensibility. Join us in this CLE webinar, as we examine recent court orders and ESI protocols, including EEOC v. Tesla—among the first to greenlight GenAI for attorney responsiveness review—and other recent federal cases that establish practical frameworks for AI implementation.

This Above the Law webinar is sponsored by Reveal Data.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • How courts and parties approach AI/GenAI disclosure requirements and meet-and-confer obligations
  • Validation methodologies and recall targets that satisfy judicial scrutiny
  • Essential transparency practices to avoid "black box" challenges
  • Real-world protocols from recent ESI orders
  • Best practices for explaining AI technology to opposing counsel and courts
