Generative AI for Smart Discovery Professionals: An Introduction to LLMs
On July 16th at 1 p.m. ET, John Tredennick and Dr. William Webber of Merlin Search Technologies, along with Deborah Temkin of Trace Forensic Experts, join for a Master Class on how Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming investigations and discovery workflow for smart discovery professionals.
Since its debut in late 2022, ChatGPT has been hailed as a revolutionary technology with transformative potential, especially within the legal sector. In the months that followed, GPT, Claude and other large Language models (LLMs) began to usher in a new era for investigation and discovery workflow.
Rather than rely on keywords and time-consuming human analysis, legal professionals can now leverage these new AI tools to find relevant information, answer questions, summarize transcripts, create investigation reports and conduct document review, achieving in seconds what typically required hours or days of effort.
What is this all about? Join us for a one-hour, information-packed Master Class created expressly for smart legal professionals who want to learn more about the GenAI revolution and how Large Language Models work.
What we covered:
- An overview of Generative AI – what it is and how it works.
- How Generative AI models are trained.
- Review the strengths, limitations, and security behind the technology.
- Details about hallucinations and how to mitigate their risk.
- Ways to transform investigation and discovery workflow.
