Since its debut in late 2022, ChatGPT has been hailed as groundbreaking technology with the potential to reshape numerous industries including the legal profession. 

The applications for investigation and ediscovery are far-reaching. Large language models (LLMs) like GPT and Claude 2 are transforming discovery workflows, replacing expensive manual workflow with machine learning. 

Two of the leading experts on harnessing LLMs for discovery and disclosure will show you how you can use LLMs for such things as the following:

  • Summarizing and analyzing relevant documents, transcripts, and SMS texts.
  • Providing answers to complex questions about documents or transcripts..
  • Identifying key participants, creating timelines, and summarizing key events.
  • Generating comprehensive investigation reports tailored to your objectives.
  • Conducting document review, with detailed reasons for classifications.

All of this can be done in a fraction of the time and cost of human review

We’ll end by taking on the elephant in the room: Are LLMs like GPT secure?  Are we risking confidentiality and privilege when we send client data to these AI platforms for analysis? 

Join us for an illuminating 90 minutes (plus a light lunch) focused on using LLMs to re-engineer and improve investigation and ediscovery workflows.
