E-discovery and Beyond: Facing Change in the Age of AI

By Steve Salkin

The volume of electronic information that has been creating risks in e-discovery for more than a decade is ripe for renewed attention in the era of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced analytics. Just as advanced tools now play a role in mining data for use in business pursuits, they can also be used to mitigate what in the past has plagued those charged with meeting litigation and investigation e-discovery needs.

Artificial and augmented intelligence — embodied in tools that ostensibly make judgements previously made by humans — offer analytical capabilities that can help differentiate data and speed identification of responsive and key information — at least in theory. In this roundtable discussion these experts share their experience and insight on the evolving acceptance and use of AI and advanced analytics tools for e-discovery — and beyond:

  • Brandon Graves, Counsel, Davis Wright Tremaine (BG).

He advises on internal investigations, crisis management, and government investigations, as well as litigation-related matters before courts and administrative bodies. His clients include defense contractors, multinational energy companies, and leading providers in the banking and payments industry.
  • Kara Ricupero, Global Information Governance, eBay (KR). In her current role, Kara is responsible for development and management of eBay's Information Governance program and accompanying policies. Kara and her team also establish and manage eBay's e-discovery strategy in litigation and government investigations.

  • Kimberly Quan, Lead, e-discovery & Information Governance, Juniper Networks (KQ). Kimberly Quan has over 20 years' of experience in the legal-technology realm and leads e-discovery and Information Governance (IG), concentrating on operational efficiency and maturity. She is a key member of the Juniper IT Security Team that focuses on Forensics, e-discovery, Data Loss Prevention, and IG.
