Extract from Phil Saunders’s article “Running Faster Toward the AI-Powered Future of Legal Data”
Time flies. Right about this time last year, I decided to embark upon my first Relativity blog. It was a cathartic exercise to acknowledge the moment we were all in. That moment became momentum, and it’s accelerating at warp speed—but we’ll get to that. Let’s take a quick minute or two to reflect on where we were, remind us where we are, and lace up for the run ahead.
Early in 2025, we discussed topics such as the continuing rise of legal data challenges, advancement of generative AI in what we do, and the changes necessary for us as individuals and our legal tech community at large to thrive. Given many of us are Legal Data Intelligence (LDI) nerds, we also covered the bits and bytes of things. We openly discussed the absolute necessity for cloud-native tech architecture to tackle the data deluge ahead of us, the early adoption of large language models in our market, and related AI-powered solutions including Relativity aiR, our generative AI suite. We also shared our resulting Relativity Server policy and acceleration of our cloud-native, AI-powered platform, RelativityOne.
Given the pace of change happening all around us throughout last year, I felt compelled to blog away—again—just a few months later, proclaiming that while we’re proud of our advancements, Relativity was committed to stretch further, faster.
