The EDRM GenAI Survey Results: AI and eDiscovery Trends
The EDRM GenAI Working Group surveyed 19 senior legal professionals to gauge how generative AI is being applied across the eDiscovery workflow. Respondents, mainly lawyers at large U.S. firms, report strong success with text‑summarization and document‑drafting, while results for full‑scale document review are mixed compared with traditional TAR. The panel highlighted a “first‑draft” model where AI augments, not replaces, human judgment, and noted a lack of formal disclosures to courts. The discussion concluded that the field urgently needs rigorous validation frameworks and peer‑reviewed research.
