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 on 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. \n \nSpeakers: \nSteven Berrent\, (Deloitte) – Moderator \nKelley Hempson (Deloitte) \nZviad Gurili (WilmerHale) \nJulian Ackert (iDS) URL:https://dc.aceds.org/events/happy-hour-and-ediscovery-expert-panel/ LOCATION:Deloitte DC\, 1299 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest 10th floor\, Washington\, DC 20004\, Washington\, DC\, 20004\, US ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://dc.aceds.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/12984_image.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221201T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221201T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T204311 CREATED:20221122T221228Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221122T221228Z UID:7697-1669915800-1669924800@dc.aceds.org SUMMARY:E-Discovery Day Happy Hour DESCRIPTION: URL:https://dc.aceds.org/events/e-discovery-day-happy-hour/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://dc.aceds.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/DC-Chapter_December-1_Eventbrite.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221110T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221110T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T204311 CREATED:20221026T213143Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221031T174000Z UID:7169-1668103200-1668110400@dc.aceds.org SUMMARY:eDiscovery Expert Panel and Membership Drive DESCRIPTION:Join the ACEDS DC Chapter for a virtual event\n\n\nEmerging technologies and best practices make it challenging for eDiscovery professionals to stay abreast of the evolving services landscape.
