Webinar Reveals How AI in eDiscovery is Transforming Legal Practice

Artificial intelligence and advanced technologies are transforming the legal industry and eDiscovery practices at unprecedented speed. While AI has underpinned legal technology for decades, recent breakthroughs in generative AI have unlocked powerful new capabilities — accelerating the adoption of AI in eDiscovery and reshaping how legal teams approach contract analysis, document review, case research, privilege review, and compliance monitoring.

KLDiscovery’s recent webinar with Today’s General Counsel explored how AI is already changing legal workflows, from contract analysis and document review to case research, predictive coding, privilege review, and compliance monitoring.

“I’m not here to tell you that implementing these tools is easy,” explained Eric Robinson, KLDiscovery’s Vice President of Global Advisory Services & Strategic Solutions. “There’s a lot of compliance and information security components that have to come into play, but when done well and done appropriately, these tools do and can represent a significant value on a move forward basis.”

During the session, Robinson tackled a series of topics including:

• AI’s impact on lawyers
• Foundational shifts in early case assessment and review
• Emerging risks and compliance considerations
• How AI is changing collaboration between clients, law firms, and providers
• Real-world use cases and lessons learned
• What to expect in the next phase of AI adoption

The discussion also addressed the challenges legal teams must confront: data security and privacy concerns, hallucinated outputs, bias, unresolved intellectual property questions, and evolving ethical duties. With a growing number of documented cases involving AI-generated citation errors, the need for human oversight and validation has never been clearer.

Finally, the webinar examined the rapidly developing regulatory landscape and what legal professionals need to know to stay compliant while leveraging AI’s advantages.
