The Future of eDiscovery: Generative AI’s Impact
Generative AI is transforming eDiscovery, reshaping legal document review with greater efficiency and scalability. But as with predictive coding, technology alone is not enough. Human expertise remains essential to ensure accuracy, mitigate bias, and uphold ethical standards.
The 2025 Artificial Intelligence Report, conducted by Secretariat in collaboration with ACEDS, has revealed groundbreaking insights into the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal industry. With a focus on Generative AI (GenAI) and its increasing integration into legal workflows, the survey provides essential data for organizations navigating the future of legal practice and technology. Now in its third year, the report’s research and analysis was once again led by legal AI expert Richard Finkelman in collaboration with ACEDS. This year also marks the first partnership with Secretariat to sponsor this comprehensive study.
