Your AI Is Brilliant. Your Strategy Might Need Work.

Why Choosing the Best AI Is Usually the Wrong Question

Most organisations have moved beyond asking whether they should use AI. The conversation has shifted to which platform, model, or tool they should adopt. But what if that’s the wrong starting point?

As AI becomes embedded in legal, compliance and investigative work, organisations are confronting a new challenge: knowing when to trust AI outputs, how much checking is required, and what level of governance should sit around different use cases.

In this ACEDS ANZ panel discussion, industry leaders from a global law firm, a leading legal technology provider and one of Australia’s most experienced eDiscovery and governance specialists will explore how organisations can move beyond AI adoption and towards AI judgement.

Using practical examples, the panel will discuss:

• Why choosing the “best AI” may be the wrong question
• When AI is a useful first draft and when it isn’t
• How trust and confidence requirements change across different use cases
• The role of human judgement in AI-enabled workflows
• Why governance should attach to the use case, not just the tool
• How organisations can build a more effective AI strategy

Speakers:

Emma Young – Director of Litigation Support Services APAC, DLA Piper
Jo Sherman – Founder and CEO, eDT
Matthew Golab – Director of Practice Empowerment, Relativity

Moderated by:

Stuart Hall – Principal Control Risks and President of ACEDS ANZ

Key Takeaway

Leave with a practical framework for thinking about AI through the lens of risk, trust, governance, and outcomes not what technology to buy.
