New AI platform launched for legal technology

After more than two years of development and a successful limited availability program, legal technology company CS Disco Inc has announced the general availability of DISCO AI. 'Deep learning AI is changing the landscape of innovation in technology. From self-driving cars and home automation, to cancer diagnosis and crime prevention, AI can help solve some of the world's biggest and most complex challenges,' said Neil Etheridge, VP of Marketing at DISCO. 'We wanted to use that technology to simplify and automate the tasks faced today by law firms and corporate legal departments.' While there will be many applications for DISCO AI, initially the focus is to dramatically reduce the time, burden, and cost of identifying evidence in legal document review - a process known as ediscovery. Although older, more rigid technologies and processes - sometimes referred to as TAR (Technology Assisted Review) - have been applied to ediscovery, adoption and results have been limited compared to the potential that AI can deliver.
