If you’re in the DC area tomorrow, consider checking out this ACEDS DC chapter event, with a happy hour and eDiscovery expert panel!

The ACEDS DC chapter event is titled Beyond eDiscovery: Enhancing Technical Literacy Throughout Your Organization and it will be held tomorrow from 5:30pm to 8pm ET at the Deloitte DC offices at 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest 10th floor Washington, DC 20004. You can register here for the event.

The description for the panel discussion is as follows:

Though the use of AI in the legal industry is not new, its applicability and use continue to grow at an accelerated pace. Considerations regarding how AI is used, its algorithms and results, and the expectation for future applications of Generative AI need to be understood and addressed. During this discussion, the panel will speak to how AI has woven its way into everyday legal, investigative, and eDiscovery workstreams. Attorneys not only need a level of technical competency regarding the technology being used in their matters, they need to understand where else technology will present itself. Questions surrounding data creation and authentication will require a level of technical literacy beyond eDiscovery and forensic teams to include other stakeholders within an organization.

Speakers are:

  • Steven Berrent (Deloitte) – Moderator
  • Kelley Hempson (Deloitte)
  • Zviad Gurili (WilmerHale)
  • Julian Ackert (iDS)

With so many rapid developments in the AI world, technical competency for legal professionals is more important than ever! Space is limited, so register here ASAP!

So, what do you think? Are you interested in learning more about AI in eDiscovery? Of course you are! So, consider attending the ACEDS DC chapter event tomorrow! And please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.

BTW, I’m on my first real vacation in three years (seriously! – this post was pre-scheduled!) so I may be slow to respond to comments here and on social media. 🙂
