Extract from Jennifer Swanton, Shannon Capone Kirk, and John Del Piero’s article “Analytics and Predictive Coding Technology for Corporate Attorneys: Six Use Cases”
This is the second article in a two-part series, designed to help create a better relationship between corporate attorneys and advanced technology. In our first article, we worked to demystify the language technology providers tend to use around AI and analytics technology.
