As AI becomes more common in legal workflows, understanding how different AI applications are used is critical. This white paper explores the distinction between AI for Legal and AI for Discovery & Investigations, and why it matters for risk, quality and defensibility.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping legal practice, but not all AI serves the same purpose. While the terms are often used interchangeably, AI designed to assist legal professionals with drafting work product is fundamentally different from AI used to analyse evidence during eDiscovery and investigations.
This white paper explores the practical distinction between these two applications of AI, focusing on why the difference matters for defensibility, validation, governance and risk management. It outlines the unique considerations for each use case and provides a clear framework to help legal, eDiscovery, investigations and compliance teams evaluate AI tools with confidence.
Whether you’re selecting technology, developing AI governance policies or responding to questions from clients, courts or regulators, this guide offers practical insights to support informed decision-making.
