???“Two plus two is not five. It is not six. It is four.”??? Some conversations stay with you long after they’re over. This was one of them. Dr.?Maura R. Grossman?is not just a leading voice in eDiscovery — she’s a?visionary who fundamentally changed the field. Her pioneering work in?Technology-Assisted Review (TAR) and Continuous Active Learning (CAL)?reshaped how we approach legal technology, setting the stage for everything that followed. Her writings helped shape my knowledge of this industry. It was an?absolute honor for me and my co-host Brandon Mack?to sit down with Dr. Grossman on the National eDiscovery Leadership Institute?NeLIPod?Podcast to talk about?the past, present, and future of AI in legal tech. From the?pushback against TAR?to the?blind rush into Gen AI, we explored the?mistakes of the past and the challenges ahead. This is an episode to remember! ???Why did TAR face resistance while Gen AI is being embraced so quickly? ???Are courts misunderstanding AI the way they misapplied TAR statistics? ???Is the legal industry repeating history with new tools—or actually evolving? Dr. Grossman doesn’t hold back. And her insights in this episode are?essential listening?for anyone who cares about the future of legal technology. ???Listen here:?
