With the advent of generative AI and automation, some say that review is dead. Cimplifi takes a look at that premise in this blog post.

In their post (Review is Dead! Long Live Review!, available here), Cimplifi starts with a little history analogy, stating: “The declaration we’ve all heard: ‘The King is dead, long live the King!’ It comes from the traditional proclamation used to announce the death of the reigning monarch and simultaneously hail the ascension of the new monarch. The declaration is intended to underscore the perpetual nature of the monarchy, ensuring that the death of a leader does not mean the monarchy has ended. Instead, it’s an immediate acknowledgment of the new regime and reinforces the idea that the monarchy’s institution endures despite an individual ruler’s death.”

How that relates to legal document review is that document review has undergone a significant transformation over the past few decades, evolving from a labor-intensive process to a highly automated and precise operation. It has evolved from pure manual review to the rise of advanced eDiscovery tools to the use of AI and machine learning. Now, the integration of genAI tools into review platforms has changed the focus from eyes-on and TAR-enabled document review to prompt engineering and iterative testing.
