Michael Kearney Moderates Panel on Technical Advances in AI at The Sedona Conference Working Group 13 Midyear Meeting 2026

On November 5, Michael Kearney moderates the panel “Beyond the Hype: Technical Advances in AI and Implications for Law, Governance, and Practice” at The Sedona Conference Working Group 13 (WG13) Midyear Meeting 2026 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The panel examines AI capabilities now moving from pilot projects to practical use, including generative AI, agentic systems, multimodal models, automated reasoning, and domain-specific legal tools.  Panelists address what these advances can and cannot reliably do and how they affect legal practice, governance, compliance, and dispute resolution, with a focus on accuracy, explainability, data provenance, confidentiality, privilege, cybersecurity, and evidentiary reliability.
