IBA Annual Litigation Forum - Chasing a moving world: litigation in an age of acceleration

17 Mar - 19 Mar 2027

Session information

Session 2: AI in the litigation war room: when both sides have the same technology, who has the advantage?

Description

Rather than another general discussion of whether AI will transform litigation, this session would focus on litigation strategy in an AI-enabled world. If both sides can instantly analyse millions of documents, test arguments, identify inconsistencies and generate litigation strategies, where does competitive advantage come from? The panel would examine how leading litigators are actually using AI in complex cases, where human judgment remains decisive, and the new risks surrounding privilege, confidentiality, hallucinations, disclosure and professional responsibility. India's rapidly developing technology ecosystem offers an ideal setting for a practical discussion between litigators, judges, clients and technologists.
