NLJ this week: Breakneck speed & challenges as lawyers embrace AI-driven eDisclosure

211155
How is the legal sector adapting to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models for eDisclosure? In this week’s NLJ, Jake Pennington-Slater, eDiscovery Manager, Freeths, traces the development of AI and other tech in eDisclosure in recent years and considers the future.

Pennington-Slater reports that the global data volume is increasing ‘at an exponential rate. In 2020, it’s estimated that 64 zettabytes of data were produced, and 2025 is projected to result in 175 zettabytes of data… These eye-watering numbers make even the standard use of eDisclosure AI not as effective, in some cases, as it once was’.
