In my latest guest post for Avansic, I talk about the AI topic not being talked about enough – the evidence created by generative AI!

As I discuss in the post (Generative AI and the Evidence it Creates, available here), you can’t get away from talking about generative AI.

Whether it’s the amazing things it can do (like serving as officiant in a wedding or finding the right diagnosis for a boy’s pain after 17 doctors failed to do so), the issues it causes (like hallucinations here and here & data privacy/cybersecurity concerns here and here), litigation related to it (like here and here) and misuse of the technology (like here and here). That’s not even considering all the recent OpenAI drama!

Many people are talking about the capabilities and challenges associated with generative AI. Those capabilities and challenges extend to eDiscovery, where many providers have released (or at least announced) generative AI capabilities.

But I’ve seen hardly anybody talking about the aspect of generative AI that may impact eDiscovery professionals as much or more than the capabilities being added to their eDiscovery platforms: the evidence it generates. Evidence created by generative AI algorithms may be the next big wave of evidence that is discoverable in litigation and other eDiscovery use cases – and the possibilities for the evidence it may eventually create are endless.

So, what are some examples of the evidence created by generative AI? What are two statistics that illustrate the potential extent of generative AI related evidence? And what’s up with that elephant in the picture above? 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? Are you thinking about the evidence created by generative AI? Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
