AI Expert Witness

Expert testimony and forensic analysis for artificial intelligence litigation

When litigation involves artificial intelligence, you need an expert witness who understands both the technology and the courtroom. Joe Sremack is an AI expert witness who provides forensic analysis, expert reports, and testimony for cases involving AI systems, machine learning models, large language models, and algorithmic decision-making.

Joe Sremack is an artificial intelligence expert witness with over 20 years of experience in digital forensics and data analytics. He has conducted more than 500 investigations across 50+ countries and provides expert testimony in state and federal courts, international arbitration, and regulatory proceedings. He is the author of AI Forensics: Investigation and Analysis of Artificial Intelligence Systems (Chapman and Hall/CRC, 2026), the leading reference on investigating AI systems in legal and regulatory contexts.

An AI expert witness bridges the gap between technical complexity and legal standards. Joe provides analysis and testimony across the full lifecycle of AI-related disputes:

Expert Reports & Testimony

Comprehensive expert reports that translate complex AI concepts into clear, defensible opinions for judges and juries. Testimony in depositions, hearings, and trial.

AI System Forensic Analysis

Technical examination of AI systems including training data, model architecture, decision-making processes, and output behavior. Learn more about AI forensics services.

Algorithmic Bias Detection

Identification and measurement of disparate impact, discriminatory patterns, and unfair treatment in AI-driven decisions across hiring, lending, healthcare, and other domains.

AI Capability Assessment

Independent evaluation of what an AI system can and cannot do, using industry benchmarks and forensic testing to verify or challenge vendor claims.

Discovery & Litigation Support

Technical guidance on AI-related discovery requests, document review strategy, and identification of relevant technical evidence.

Regulatory & Compliance Analysis

Assessment of AI systems against emerging regulatory frameworks including the EU AI Act, state-level AI legislation, and industry-specific requirements.
