The AI Discovery Frontier: How to Boldly Meet & Confer Where No One Has Before

As the horizon shifts, lawyers must understand how their clients are using artificial intelligence (AI): what tools are in play, what data is generated and where it resides. This session will focus on framing the meet-and-confer to identify AI-related sources, set defensible preservation scopes and negotiate practical production formats. Panelists will cover model inputs/outputs, system logs, prompts and governance artifacts as potential evidence, along with proportionality and confidentiality considerations. Expect concrete checklists and sample dialogue to help you steer the discussion, reduce surprises and keep discovery on a steady course. You’ll leave with a clear approach for aligning legal requirements with real-world AI workflows.

Through the AI Looking Glass: Avoiding the Rabbit Hole of Deepfakes & Hallucinations

AI is reshaping litigation and introducing new risks. Deepfakes and AI “hallucinations” are no longer theoretical concerns. Rather, they are emerging sources of discovery disputes, evidentiary challenges and professional responsibility exposure. This panel of experts will demystify how deepfakes and AI hallucinations are created, how they infiltrate the discovery process and why traditional authentication and verification frameworks may no longer be sufficient. Attendees will gain practical guidance on identifying manipulated media, vetting AI-generated content and implementing defensible workflows to mitigate risk.

Revenge of the Bad Facts: Minimizing Discovery Risk Before It Strikes Back

In the perilous galaxy of complex litigation, a single poorly-managed discovery dispute can trigger a revolt of adverse caselaw, creating precedents that haunt entire industries for years. This panel will dissect real-world examples of “bad cases” where aggressive over-collection, sloppy privilege assertions or untimely productions led to sanctions, waived protections or expansive rulings on emerging issues such as AI outputs and modern data sources. Attendees will hear battle-tested tactics for early risk assessment, proportional scoping and defensible decision-making – helping to ensure their cases avoid striking back as cautionary tales cited in courtrooms nationwide.
