Dearest EDRM Community,
The word of the week is: AI.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is dominating discussions in Legaltech this week, and for good reason. From the intriguing “New Study Shows AIs are Genuinely Nicer than Most People” by Ralph Losey to upcoming webinars like “RISE OF THE MACHINES” with the Hon. Judge Ralph Artigliere (ret.) in conversation with EDRM Trusted Partner, CodexTen’s Shawn Arnold and “Generative AI: What Can It Do For – and To – You and Your Clients,” with Ron Hedges, it’s clear that AI is rapidly transforming our community and our industry. You are invited to the Event: EDRM Virtual Workshop: Let’s Deep Dive into How eDiscovery Pros Make Generative AI Their Greatest Asset, sponsored by EDRM’s longstanding Trusted Partner, HaystackID,. The event will be facilitated by Mary Rechtoris Bennet with Kaylee Walstad and Mary Mack and features experts Dr. Maura R. Grossman, Dave Cohen and John Brewer.
