2:00 pm - 3:00 pm ESTArtificial intelligence is increasingly being used by expert witnesses to analyze evidence, develop opinions, and assist in drafting expert reports, raising new questions about transparency, reliability, and methodological soundness. This session equips litigators with practical strategies for evaluating and challenging AI-assisted expert opinions before trial, from expert discovery and depositions to Rule 702 and Daubert motions. Attendees will learn how to scrutinize expert methodology, identify weaknesses in AI-assisted analyses, and develop effective strategies for challenging the reliability of AI-assisted testimony. By the end of the session, attorneys will be able to develop targeted discovery requests, conduct effective depositions of AI-assisted experts, and structure persuasive Rule 702 and Daubert arguments.
Frank Ramos 3:10 pm - 4:10 pm ESTThis session examines the evidentiary standards governing the admission and exclusion of AI-generated and AI-enhanced evidence at trial, covering authentication burdens, hearsay classifications, and the developing federal and state rule frameworks. Attorneys will learn how proposed FRE 707 would reshape foundation requirements for machine-generated outputs, how proposed FRE 901(c) would govern AI deepfakes if enacted, how courts are applying existing rules on reliability, authentication, and hearsay in the absence of AI-specific standards in effect including in important cases such as Mendones v. Cushman & Wakefield and State v. Puloka. Attendees will leave with practical frameworks for both sponsoring and challenging AI-generated and AI-enhanced evidence.
