Tech Law Talks

Claude Brown, Jeffrey Stern, and Simon Hugo explore the various securitization structures within the data center sector, followed by an in-depth discussion on the environmental and social implications of data centers. This episode concludes with a comprehensive market overview of investment trends in the data center industry.

In this episode of our AI-enabled e-discovery series, host Anthony Diana sits down with Reed Smith’s Marcin Krieger and Gravity Stack’s Sharri Wilner to unpack Relativity aiR: Relativity’s embedded generative AI framework for e-discovery.

The conversation breaks down how aiR differs from traditional TAR/CAL, what it means to treat prompts as a “review protocol,” and where it delivers outsized value today. The team explores aiR’s two core applications: aiR for Review to accelerate responsiveness and issue coding across large data sets, and aiR for Case Strategy to summarize transcripts, surface themes, and drive smarter deposition prep. The team also discusses validation, defensibility, and emerging tools such as Air Assist, offering practical tips for managing risk, change, and ethics as GenAI becomes part of daily practice.

Continuing our series on AI-enabled e-discovery, Anthony Diana, Therese Craparo, and Samantha Walsh tackle the thorniest privilege challenges and real-world use cases. They explore how AI – from tried and true technology-assisted review (TAR) to emerging generative AI – can accelerate privilege identification, sharpen quality control, and streamline (even automate) privilege logging, all while preserving human judgment where nuance matters. The conversation examines practical steps for the responsible adoption of AI today and looks ahead to the future of AI’s role in privilege review.

Anthony Diana is joined by Therese Craparo and Marcin Krieger to start a new series on AI-enabled e-discovery. This series will look at practical and legal issues related to the use of AI in e-discovery, with a focus on actual use cases rather than theoretical discussions. Topics for this episode include how AI is currently being used in e-discovery, the rapid proliferation of tools on the market and the speed of their adoption, and guidance on how to get started – including key do’s and don’ts.

Reed Smith’s Jason Garcia, Gerard Donovan, and Tyler Thompson are joined by Databricks’ Suchismita Pahi and Christina Farhat for a spirited discussion exploring one of the most urgent debates of our era: Should AI be regulated now, or are we moving too fast? Settle in and listen to a dynamic conversation that delves into the complex relationship between innovation and regulation in the world of artificial intelligence.

High tariffs would significantly impact data center projects, through increased costs, supply chain disruptions and other problems. Reed Smith’s Matthew Houghton, John Simonis and James Doerfler explain how owners and developers can attenuate tariff risks throughout the planning, contract drafting, negotiation, procurement and construction phases. In this podcast, learn about risk allocation and other proactive measures to manage cost and schedule challenges in today’s uncertain regulatory environment.

Arbitrators and counsel can use artificial intelligence to improve service quality and lessen work burden, but they also must deal with the ethical and professional implications. In this episode, Rebeca Mosquera, a Reed Smith associate and president of ArbitralWomen, interviews Benjamin Malek, a partner at T.H.E. Chambers and former chair of the Silicon Valley Arbitration and Mediation Center AI Task Force. They reveal insights and experiences on the current and future applications of AI in arbitration, the potential risks of bias and transparency, and the best practices and guidelines for the responsible integration of AI into dispute resolution. The duo discusses how AI is reshaping arbitration and what it means for arbitrators, counsel and parties.
