Use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools in eDiscovery creates new opportunities for attorneys. By extracting, analyzing, and applying information from large data sets, AI tools can provide new insights, systematize processes, speed time to resolution, and reduce costs.

Legal practitioners may reduce costs, time, and mistakes by applying TAR in litigation, antitrust reviews, investigations, and other matters. However, as legal teams’ uses of these technologies evolve, ethical issues may arise, particularly with the opportunities for reusing the results of the computer learning in future matters, but for different clients.
