Melissa Weberman, Arnold & Porter counsel and head of the eDiscovery & Data Analytics (eData) group, was featured in the Law360 article, "AI 'Game Changer' In E-Discovery, But Challenges Remain," which covered a panel discussion at the 2025 International Legal Technology Association Conference on the impact of generative artificial intelligence in e-discovery.

While speaking on the panel, Weberman emphasized that, while generative AI is transforming legal practice, it does not change lawyers' core ethical responsibilities.
