Transitioning to AI May Feel Like a Horror Film; In Truth, It’s The Hero We’ve Been Waiting For
By Tony Reichenberger
Boo! Yes, it’s that time of year. That time when we encounter ghosts, ghouls and goblins that terrorize our lives. In e-Discovery, we deal with these monsters every day and move on with our lives like Jamie Lee Curtis in “Halloween”, only to encounter the same menace in a sequel the next day.
Now that AI is making its way into everyday use, many out there are hesitant, resistant to the need to change and adopt. They don’t want to go through that door just yet, for they’ve heard screams on the other side and want others to make that jump first. What they don’t understand yet is that AI isn’t the serial killing, life draining, alien villain of this story, it’s the hero that saves the day. Talk about a plot twist!
But that’s common in horror films (and also e-Discovery!). They present the audience with familiar places, people, things, and force you to question the qualities of them. There could be a trap over there! (don’t forget to include attachments!) There could be zombie (project) chasing you down! God forbid, our closest ally betrays us and undermines everything (Where’s that reviewer that missed everything!). AI can come in and save you from all this trouble.
For instance, when you’re up against a tight deadline and need to produce documents before midnight, eDiscovery AI can help speed up the process. Run your document set through the Relevancy Review within eDiscovery AI; the results will come back quickly. Then you can target documents for QC and for Privilege Review faster, and get documents pushed to production before the full moon comes out. Need to do deposition prep on Doctor Jekyll’s materials before next week? Run his documents through Relevancy Review for specific issues you want to investigate and get a head start on review of his documents. It really is that fast and simple.
Horror films usually last about ninety minutes. Horror show projects can last for years, and spawn off many uglier and less fun sequels. They can genuinely suck the life right out of many a project manager. Imagine getting all the answers in the opening scene; it’s like getting a spoiler and saving yourself the effort of enduring a downward spiral of schlock and gruesomeness. When the next project comes along, you’re already set and ready to go and get it down in just as little a time. No fear. No blood and gore. No worries.
AI is the hero you’ve always wanted. Contact eDiscovery AI to receive a demonstration of what AI can do for you today!
