As AI overwhelms traditional knowledge systems, lawyers and knowledge management professionals are rethinking what “good data” even means. This session will explore how agentic AI is redefining long-held assumptions about data quality, structure, and lawyer workflows—challenging the idea that data optimization is obsolete while revealing why it matters now more than ever.

Discussion highlights will include:

• Recent transformations in data optimization and reforming KM strategies.
• Where AI reduces the need for heavily structured data—and where governance still matters.
• How lawyers’ roles are shifting from doers to validators, and the increasing value of understanding the tools that echo past their biggest challenges.
