artificiallawyaon Legal AI and the Industrialisation of Cognition (2017)

AI isn’t just for big firms. In fact smaller firms are under more pressure to be efficient. See: https://www.artificiallawyer.com/2018/07/19/casetext-and-the...

Also many medium size law firms are using AI systems now. See: https://www.artificiallawyer.com/2018/07/03/tuesday-luminanc... And, https://www.artificiallawyer.com/2018/06/19/israels-tadmor-l... Neither of those two firms are massive, but they both still see the value. Also AI systems are not as expensive as you may think. P.s. I’ve worked in the legal sector for 20 years. Well aware of how billing works, and things now are changing esp. re. Any process level work. May I ask which firm you work at?

Thanks. There are over 30 legal AI companies working just in doc review. If you are interested in this area then check out previous pieces that cover a very wide range of use cases. There are well over 50+ companies using NLP/ML in the legal sector. If firms in your country are not then they are perhaps just a bit behind the curve. Come to London and it may change your mind.

Re. Overstating use, far from it. This piece is from 2017, since then adoption of NLP/ML systems has rapidly grown among the leading law firms eg AmLaw 100 and UK 100. Even excluding ediscovery systems the use of AI Tech for review work has hugely increased - sufficient to keep a daily blog going just to keep up with all that is happening. Don’t get complacent. Things among larger firms are starting to change.
