eDiscovery Needs Digital Forensics for a Mobile World Oct 08, 2024

From the rapid advancements in the capabilities of mobile devices to our increasingly digital workplaces, how we communicate is less standardized and more complex.

With lessons from a decades-long career in forensics, Will Wei, Principal Forensics Consultant at Lighthouse, shares with Brooks Thompson and Sarah Barsky how the field has evolved and describes today’s data collection and processing challenges.

The AI Trust Test in eDiscovery Jul 24, 2024

We are seeing increased optimism toward AI in eDiscovery. But as many platforms and solutions tout better and unprecedented results it’s still important to ask foundational questions about the technology: Can I trust the output? Is my data secure? Before getting those answers, it’s key to have a framework for evaluating trustworthiness and security in AI—one that is built on knowledge of AI capabilities and skepticism of hype.

To guide through these considerations and help you develop your AI checklist, Law & Candor welcomes Fernando Delgado, Senior Director of AI and Analytics at Lighthouse. With our new co-hosts, Sarah Barsky-Harlan and Brooks Thompson, he answers some core questions he's hearing from clients and the market about validation, transparency, and results, all of which can help us navigate our next phase with AI.

To Unlock AI’s Power, Think Predictive to Generative May 04, 2024

With innumerable use cases and benefits proclaimed by everyday users and technology evangelists alike, generative AI continues to bask in the spotlight. To amplify its positive efficiency impacts, it's important to have a solid foundation of predictive AI. Through the power of linguistics and large language models, predictive AI augments indispensable data classification—like privilege and PII—and positions you to more effectively use gen AI’s ability to summarize and reason. The trick is knowing how and when to use them.

For a clear view of the relationship between these branches of AI and how to leverage it for your eDiscovery needs, Law & Candor welcomes Karl Sobylak, Director of Product Management, AI, and Lon Troyer, Vice President of Review and Advanced Analytics. They not only untangle the benefits of predictive and generative AI from the jargon, but also provide the best use cases for each they’ve encountered in their work and from what’s cutting edge in the market.

With fines continuing to be issued for GDPR violations and organizations grappling with how to transfer data across regions, data privacy is still not a resolved issue. What are some recent policy changes our audience should be aware of?
How have these created challenges for the ways that data is managed and how organizations can ultimately utilize it?

Next, they interview Erika Namnath from Lighthouse about how to develop a sound and efficient defensible deletion program and the benefits of getting buy-in for it throughout an organization. Some of the key questions they discuss include:

Defensible disposal of data continues to be a key challenge for eDiscovery and information governance programs. Why has this issue persisted and how has it evolved?
Historically, because of the risk of deleting important information or not being able to defend deletion, teams have defaulted to saving as much as possible. Why is this approach becoming increasingly impossible and even poses a greater risk?
How should leaders approach developing a data retention and disposal program or updating their existing one?
When developing these retention policies and updates, we often hear challenges with legacy data and legal holds. How can teams wrap their heads around existing data while also considering what they’re retaining today?
It seems a significant challenge for these programs is gaining stakeholder buy-in and assigning ownership for retention and deletion. What can leaders do to tackle this?

To kick things off, Bill and Rob introduce the first segment of the podcast - SIGHTINGS OF RADICAL BRILLIANCE - which, as the name implies, is the part of the show where they discuss the latest news of noteworthy innovation and acts of sheer genius.
