Description
AI applications are growing increasingly ubiquitous. Thus, counsel have no choice but to understand how to admit AI evidence--or object to its admission--in the courtroom. Counsel must comprehend AI fundamentals, including what AI is and how it works, and what issues AI raises. Counsel ignore AI evidence at their own and their clients' peril.
As insurance companies, medical providers, and other companies more frequently rely on data from AI-based processes to make decisions, plaintiffs' counsel must understand how to challenge the validity, reliability, and therefore, admissibility of this data.
Both plaintiff and defense counsel must fully appreciate which rules of evidence apply to AI evidence, and what proofs are necessary. With renewed emphasis on the court's gatekeeping function, choosing the right expert(s) can make or break the case.
Listen as this experienced panel addresses what AI is, how it works, how AI is used by lawyers, what judges need to know, admissibility issues when introducing AI evidence, and a discussion of applicable rules of evidence.
