In e-discovery and investigations, time is often of the essence. While artificial intelligence can reduce the overall time of a project, it can also present a speed bump at the start, in part because of the need to train the AI algorithm, and in part because the legal team may lack the AI-related knowledge or resources to get quickly up to speed.
