AI in discovery isn’t new, but we are embracing a new era of AI in legal discovery, as Dr. Gina Taranto of ProSearch discusses in a new article.
In her article which was published in the Legaltech® News newsletter (Embracing a New Era of AI in Legal Discovery: Effective Communication and the Incremental Path to Adoption, available here on the ProSearch site), Gina cites a recent survey about the uptake of AI in legal environments which “reveals a robust appetite for AI implementation to optimize legal operations.” Key findings include:
- A majority (60%) of respondents see AI as a liberator of time for higher-value work.
- Over half (55%) believe AI boosts in-house legal team productivity.
- Automation of manual tasks, seen by 41% as a significant productivity boon, under-scores AI’s potential to transform tedious aspects of legal work.
- 49% of professionals view AI as a tool for simplifying complex, error-prone processes.
As Gina points out, we have over a decade of AI in eDiscovery to build on, as the use of Technology Assisted Review (TAR) has been recognized as black-letter law since “the early 2010s” (this case started it all). Gina notes that our experience with TAR protocols gives us a strong foundation to support the evaluation and integration of new technology, and she gives us three lessons to keep in mind as we continue embracing a new era of AI in legal discovery.
