Comedian & Co-host of Star Talk with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson
Comedian and science show host Chuck Nice possesses the rare ability to bring sophisticated science concepts down to street level, and to bring our humanity into the rarified air of quantum physics. As the co-host of Star Talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson, and the host of Brain Games on the Road on Disney+/Nat Geo, Chuck brings a wealth of knowledge to his humorous observations on the shared future for humans and technology, and how we’re evolving, together.
As AI revolutionizes document review, are legal professionals still in the driver’s seat—or just along for the ride? AI-powered tools being developed to analyze massive datasets at unprecedented speeds and expediting first-level review. But with courts scrutinizing AI-assisted workflows, who ultimately bears the responsibility for defensibility? Join our panel of industry experts as we cut through the AI hype and confront the hard questions: Can algorithms make privilege calls? And with Rule 26 compliance at stake, how much trust can we really place in technology? How do we prevent bias in AI-driven workflows? We’ll examine the tension between AI efficiency and human expertise, challenge assumptions about automation, and explore whether legal reasoning is something a machine will ever truly master.

In the digital age, what is a document? A simple presentation of text and images? A network of hidden metadata? A vehicle for dynamic content and hyperlinked files? All of the above? And ultimately, who decides? As courts start recognizing hyperlink data as evidence, legal teams face mounting challenges in collecting and authenticating this evolving form of information. Additionally, ensuring defensibility requires strategies for preserving and tracking crucial links. Compliance risks arise when hyperlinked content is missing or altered. So how are you ensuring hyperlinked files are legally defensible evidence? This panel dives into the new frontier of eDiscovery -- exploring the best practices for tracking, preserving, and presenting hyperlink data in legal matters. With evolving cloud-based collaboration tools like Microsoft 365 and Google Docs, our experts share their strategies so you don't let critical evidence slip through the cracks.
