Recently, I was asked why there is so much resistance to adopting generative AI (GenAI) for e-discovery document review. My answer was simple: It's because many have yet to see it in action.

The legal industry is no stranger to caution, especially regarding new technologies. Concerns about accuracy, transparency, bias, and even the dreaded AI "hallucinations" have dominated discussions. While these are legitimate considerations, they often lead to a cycle of hypothesizing rather than action. It is time for the legal field to move beyond hypothesizing and start testing and using GenAI in real-world e-discovery scenarios.
