Artificial intelligence (AI) use cases are expanding at a rapid rate, and the pressure is mounting for businesses to leverage that technology or risk being left behind by their competitors. In addition to open-source applications, businesses are using enterprise-specific tools that enable employees to use generative AI technology at work. This includes licensed versions of the open-source models or business-specific tools developed alongside the applications the business is already using.

Given the rapid adoption of these tools, many businesses may not have considered the impact that their use may have on e-discovery and future litigations. Though predicting the future is a difficult task, it is worth including litigation and e-discovery as part of an impact assessment of using AI tools in your business and what steps should be taken to mitigate those risks.
