In this post, CloudNine discusses how AI has evolved in eDiscovery and where it’s heading, from the perspective of a major law firm!

The post, titled AI in eDiscovery: What Was, What Is, and What’s Coming (available here), recaps a session from the Masters Conference – Denver led by Adrian D’Amico, Director of Emerging Technology and Innovation, and Dean Seiveno, Chief Enterprise Officer of Fennemore Craig PC. The session offered a sweeping view of how AI has evolved in the eDiscovery space and where it’s heading next.

Here’s a couple of interesting observations from the article:

• Given that the AI landscape and the technologists creating solutions is growing at an quick pace, leaving many overwhelmed and uncertain on which solutions, workflows and platforms should be considered, D’Amico urged attendees to recognize that the real threat to your position or practice isn’t AI itself, it’s a lack of training in how to use it effectively. “AI doesn’t replace people,” D’Amico said. “A lack of AI training is what replaces people.”
• One significant advancement is the shift from Continuous Active Learning (CAL) to Continuous Active Prompting (CAP). Unlike CAL, which trained models based on document coding decisions, CAP relies on natural language prompts. This allows legal teams to iterate prompts, create storyboards, uncover deeper context, and even analyze audio and video files and all through conversational interfaces.

So, what role does AI-powered eDiscovery play in various phases across the entire EDRM spectrum? And what does the future hold for eDiscovery? Find out here, it’s only one click! If you wait too long, AI will evolve again! 😉
