The case for artificial intelligence

I group analytics, machine learning and other advanced, systematized technologies under the umbrella of artificial intelligence. To borrow an indelible Arthur C. Clarke quote and apply it here, "Any sufficiently advanced analytics system is indistinguishable from artificial intelligence." All the so-called AI tools we use in eDiscovery are simply advanced analytics, and generally lawyers tend to be comfortable with how analytics work. After all, email threading, concept searching, and clustering have been part of the legal industry for years, and the technology works well. With vast amounts of data, the eDiscovery industry, particularly in Canada, has lived at the forefront of the utilization of advanced technologies.
