We are often asked if we incorporate artificial intelligence (“AI”) into our legal workflows and electronic discovery processes. This question is not surprising given the efficiencies and cost savings associated with AI. Typically, these questions are followed by inquiries into how the AI tools work and their defensibility. That is, how the use of AI can be defended if its use is challenged by a judge or opposing party.
