AI compliance: What regulators expect in the age of agentic AI

As AI transforms communications monitoring and supervision, businesses face growing pressure to demonstrate that their compliance programs are effective, defensible, and well governed. In this episode of “Tech Law Talks,” Smarsh’s VP of Regulatory and Information Governance, Robert Cruz, joins Reed Smith lawyers Anthony Diana, Therese Craparo, and Michael Rubayo to explore evolving regulatory expectations, the shift from lexicons to AI-powered surveillance, and the ways that organizations can manage risk at a time when autonomous AI agents are becoming part of the compliance landscape.

As the use of artificial intelligence accelerates across financial services and other regulated industries, businesses are facing difficult questions about when AI outputs, chatbot exchanges, and agent activity become records that must be retained. In this episode of “Tech Law Talks," Smarsh’s Robert Cruz joins Reed Smith lawyers Anthony Diana, Therese Craparo, and Michael Rubayo as they discuss emerging regulatory expectations, governance strategies, third-party risk, and the growing compliance challenges posed by agentic AI.    

Generative AI is transforming e-discovery, but with real-world deployment comes real-world challenges. In this episode of Tech Law Talks, host Anthony Diana sits down with Dera Nevin of FTI Consulting to cut through the hype, covering the myth of "one tool fits all," prompting complexities, pricing pitfalls, and how to identify use cases where AI actually delivers ROI.

Reed Smith partner Anthony Diana sits down with Dera Nevin of FTI Consulting to explore how AI-enabled e-discovery is transforming litigation-and why the best time to adopt these tools is now. From accelerating early case assessment to revolutionizing privilege review workflows, Anthony and Dera break down where generative AI is already delivering real results-not just theoretical possibilities. They discuss how forward-thinking legal teams are training large language models to surface key documents, generate case timelines, and dramatically reduce time-to-knowledge on complex matters.

Generative AI is transforming document review-but are you ready to use it defensibly? In this episode, Anthony Diana sits down with e-discovery veterans Therese Craparo and Marcin Krieger to explore what makes GenAI different from traditional TAR, how to get your prompts right, and the pitfalls to avoid. Whether you're facing complex litigation or a regulatory investigation, tune in to learn how to make AI work for your next review.

AI is transforming e-discovery-but are your validation practices keeping pace? In this episode of Tech Law Talks, host Anthony Diana sits down with Kiriaki Tourikis and Marcin Krieger to tackle one of the most critical, and often misunderstood, aspects of AI-enabled discovery: how to prove your process was sound. The panel unpacks what validation really means, why it's far more than a checkbox exercise, and how it protects legal teams when opposing parties or courts come calling. They also share hard-won lessons on navigating aggressive discovery demands-and what not to agree to. Tune in for practical strategies to stay defensible as generative AI raises the stakes.

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.
