The event titled “Negotiating Better ESI Agreements” is setting out to tackle one of the most crucial findings from BRG’s inaugural Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning survey and report. The event, which is the second in a series of programs provided by BRG, Relativity, and ACEDS, is being held on October 25th in Washington, DC as stated by JD Supra.
One of the primary concerns outlined in the report is the lack of well-structured ESI (Electronically Stored Information) agreements to accommodate the rapid advancements in AI technology. To combat this, a panel of leading experts at the event will discuss and propose ways to get better results from the ESI agreement process, particularly when related to TAR (Technology Assisted Review) and AI.
ESI agreements form vital legal backing concerning the proper preservation, retrieval, and handling of electronic information. While these traditionally have upheld scrutiny, the rise of AI technology has presented new challenges. The inadequacy of current ESI agreements when tackling AI-related issues stands as a serious concern in the legal industry.
While the complexity of AI complicates matters, it is precisely this sophistication that introduces new possibilities. By harnessing AI for the review process, firms can potentially streamline workflows, improving both time-efficiency and cost control.
The upcoming event aims to address these issues head-on by promoting open discussion among industry leaders about the advancements in AI and Machine Learning. The panelists believe that negotiating better ESI agreements regarding TAR and AI technology will lead to a meaningful leap forward in practical application and process efficiency within the legal sector.
