In my latest guest post for Avansic, I talk about (what else?) AI, particularly how AI is making eDiscovery and forensics even more important!

As I discuss in the post (AI is Making eDiscovery and Forensics More Important Than Ever, available here), unless you live under a rock, you’ve probably been inundated lately with stories about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning. The introduction of OpenAI’s ChatGPT late last year has thrust AI – particularly generative AI – into the spotlight even more than it already was (which is saying a lot). I’ve been covering it so much lately that I’m wondering if I shouldn’t change the name of my blog to Artificial Intelligence Today!

From an eDiscovery and forensics perspective, organizations have been leveraging AI algorithms to address Big Data challenges for years now – without it, we would literally be drowning in data. AI algorithms have become required components of any legal technology toolset today and the ability to apply AI to more eDiscovery and forensics use cases than ever creates significant benefits!

However, AI also creates significant challenges. Generative AI solutions can generate all types of content – text, images, audio and video – and the content they generate is creating challenges for organizations in authenticating data, which has magnified the importance of eDiscovery and forensics even more.

So, what are the eDiscovery and forensics use cases that AI and machine learning technology can help address? More importantly, how is eDiscovery and Forensics helping address AI challenges? I discuss all of that in the blog post here. It’s just one more click – even to a post I wrote! 😉

So, what do you think? Do you agree that AI is making eDiscovery and forensics even more important? Maybe you will after you read the full blog post! Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
