The Pros and Cons of Using AI for Multinational Cases

AI and GenAI present massive opportunities in litigation, as well as several new challenges.

Understanding where and how different AI technologies can help or hinder e-discovery is essential.

Machine translation has become more common in e-discovery in recent years because of its efficiency.

GenAI has the potential to be a very powerful e-discovery translation tool for cross-border litigation.

Many are turning to a hybrid approach that combines AI and human intervention to improve the efficiency of e-discovery.

AI is here to stay. However, legal teams must still include sector-specific linguists to handle nuanced translations.


IntroductionThe Pros and Cons of Using AI for Multinational Cases

Artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) present massive opportunities in litigation as well as several new challenges. Today’s AI products offer promising advances in the form of productivity and efficiency, cost reductions, and (in some cases) improved accuracy.

However, AI isn’t a panacea for legal work. This relatively new technology is still prone to error and requires human monitoring to ensure that all outputs are accurate, ethical, and defensible. That’s especially true for the complexities of e-discovery in cross-border, multinational litigation and translation.
