Boston ERISA and Insurance Litigation Blog’s Top Ten Countdown for the New Year – The Third Most Popular Post of 2025
I continue to push through the last few in my countdown of my Top Ten posts on this blog in 2025, having now reached the number three post. Number three is actually one of my favorites. It raises the question of when, exactly, AI claims processing is proper and when, instead, it will prove to
Centralizing collaboration to reduce engagement friction
Your advisory practice is growing faster than audit. Your best talent wants flexibility you could not offer five years ago. And your newest partner just lost three hours reconstructing context from a client file that lives across SharePoint, your practice management system, and someone’s inbox.
This is not a technology problem. It is a revenue
The Case for Traditional Review in a Tech-Driven World
Technology Assisted Review (TAR), or some variation of it, has been dominating the document review conversation for nearly a decade now. From TAR to Continuous Active Learning (CAL) to the expanding capabilities of Generative AI in eDiscovery, industry narratives often position automation as the primary solution to control costs, expedite timelines, and manage
Beyond the Chatbot: AI’s Physical Reckoning

Pentagon Releases Artificial Intelligence Strategy
The past month has marked a series of announcements from the Department of War (the “Department”) emphasizing rapid deployment of artificial intelligence (“AI”) industry partnerships. These announcements signal opportunities for not only the defense industrial base, but also nontraditional defense contractors focused on technology and data.
On January 9, 2026, the Department released two key memoranda: (1) Artificial Intelligence Strategy for the Department of War, setting out measurable pace-setting projects, barrier removal authorities, and mandated data access; and (2) Transforming the Defense Innovation Ecosystem to Accelerate Warfighting Advantage, which aims to unify the defense innovation ecosystem under the Under Secretary of War for Research & Engineering as Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”).
Shortly after, on January 12, Secretary Hegseth delivered a speech, presenting an overhaul of the Department’s innovation and acquisition ecosystems.
The January 9 memoranda and Secretary Hegseth’s speech signal the Department’s intent to formalize a single, CTO-led innovation operating system designed to produce three outputs: next-generation technology, scalable products, and new ways of fighting—and to do it at “wartime speed,” with AI as the first major proving ground.
