Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly common tool in legal practice, but its use can create significant challenges when not properly managed. While many attorneys are exploring AI’s benefits, expert witnesses are also incorporating the technology into their work, raising important questions about reliability, disclosure, and admissibility.
Ensuring the appropriate use of AI by expert witnesses is critical from both a strategic litigation and risk management perspective. Addressing these issues early can help avoid complications later in a case and protect the integrity of expert opinions.
In a recent New Jersey Law Journal article, McCarter & English lawyers Diana Manning, Benjamin DiLorenzo, and Kyle Valente outline key considerations for attorneys working with expert witnesses, including how to establish clear expectations regarding AI use and mitigate potential risks associated with its improper application.
