Where are we with AI? With the avalanche of new generative AI tools and applications released to everyday consumers since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, it’s a more complex answer for eDiscovery, particularly because we’ve used AI technology in the space for longer. If the prevailing mood of the industry in the early stages of the generative AI boom was “wait and see,” that sentiment and behaviors have evolved. Lighthouse surveyed eDiscovery experts for our annual State of AI in eDiscovery Report about what they think about AI, how they’re adopting it, their motivations for using it, barriers to implementing it, and how effective they perceive it to be. Sarah Moran, Marketing Director at Lighthouse and attorney, joins Law & Candor to discuss the key trends and how they can help your work.This episode’s sighting of radical brilliance: “Nobel Physics Prize Awarded for Pioneering A.I.

We are seeing increased optimism toward AI in eDiscovery. But as many platforms and solutions tout better and unprecedented results it’s still important to ask foundational questions about the technology: Can I trust the output? Is my data secure? Before getting those answers, it’s key to have a framework for evaluating trustworthiness and security in AI—one that is built on knowledge of AI capabilities and skepticism of hype.To guide through these considerations and help you develop your AI checklist, Law & Candor welcomes Fernando Delgado, Senior Director of AI and Analytics at Lighthouse. With our new co-hosts, Sarah Barsky-Harlan and Brooks Thompson, he answers some core questions he's hearing from clients and the market about validation, transparency, and results, all of which can help us navigate our next phase with AI.This episode's sighting of radical brilliance: For Success with AI, Bring Everyone On BoardThe Filing Cabinet: A Vertical History of InformationLearn more about the podcast and our guests on lawandcandor.com, rate us wherever you get your podcasts, and join the conversation on LinkedIn.

With innumerable use cases and benefits proclaimed by everyday users and technology evangelists alike, generative AI continues to bask in the spotlight. To amplify its positive efficiency impacts, it's important to have a solid foundation of predictive AI. Through the power of linguistics and large language models, predictive AI augments indispensable data classification—like privilege and PII—and positions you to more effectively use gen AI’s ability to summarize and reason. The trick is knowing how and when to use them. For a clear view of the relationship between these branches of AI and how to leverage it for your eDiscovery needs, Law & Candor welcomes Karl Sobylak, Director of Product Management, AI, and Lon Troyer, Vice President of Review and Advanced Analytics. They not only untangle the benefits of predictive and generative AI from the jargon, but also provide the best use cases for each they’ve encountered in their work and from what’s cutting edge in the market. This episode's sighting of radical brilliance: 2024 State of AI in eDiscovery Report.Guests: Lon Troyer; Karl SobylakLearn more about the show and our speakers on lawandcandor.com, rate us wherever you get your podcasts, and join the conversation on LinkedIn.
