Over the past year, generative AI (Gen AI) has been the hottest topic in legal technology. The untapped potential of Gen AI products has pushed legal technology providers into a race to see who can best harness this transformative technology for legal purposes. This, in turn, has raised issues about what the technology will mean for the legal industry at large, the nature of the products becoming available, and when and how legal departments, law firms, and other legal providers should evaluate and adopt the new products.

Nowhere is that excitement and uncertainty more keenly felt than in the world of e-discovery. Yet, it is crucial to understand the ways that Gen AI is transforming the traditional e-discovery practice, and what lawyers need to know now to ensure smooth sailing ahead.
