Stephanie Mills Contributes to Article on Generative AI in E-Discovery

Stephanie Mills was quoted in the article titled "Three Years In, Has Generative AI Made a Meaningful Contribution to E-Discovery?" published by ACEDS. This article canvassed industry experts for their thoughts on generative AI. Says Stephanie:

"As Manager of Discovery Services, I've seen Generative AI begin to influence how we approach eDiscovery - not by replacing legal expertise, but by enhancing how we apply it. With the right policies and oversight in place, we've found GenAI can make a meaningful difference, particularly in validation and reducing redundancy. Validation is where GenAI has shown promise. It helps us compare document sets and flag inconsistencies, which has improved the speed and reliability of our quality control - especially in areas like privilege review and responsiveness tagging, where accuracy is critical. We've also seen benefits in reducing redundancy. By helping prioritize more substantive content earlier in the review process, GenAI allows our teams to focus on what matters most. This not only reduces reviewer fatigue but ensures that the most relevant documents are seen first. That said, GenAI is not a standalone solution. It's a tool that works best when paired with human judgment and clear boundaries, including a robust GenAI policy. When used thoughtfully, it can be a valuable partner in the eDiscovery process - supporting efficiency without compromising quality."
