Ipro Chats with George Socha About eDiscovery Trends for 2020

▤ Summary

Luckily, I had the good fortune to recently speak with one of the industry’s leading voices, George Socha, about where he thinks the focus will be in 2020. He targeted three areas which are emerging, expanding, and going to “hugely change the eDiscovery landscape we face.” Here are some of the highlights: “If you think of how we live our lives today – how we communicate with people and the device we constantly have with us, tracking communications, giving us access to data, tracking where we go, what we do, what we buy, what websites we visit – it’s with our mobile devices. And then after that, the display of that content within the tools we use for analyzing and reviewing it, so it can be worked with intelligibly.” “There is the AI we use today in eDiscovery: different names for supervised machine learning, where you say, ‘This is what I like’ and then you say to the system, ‘Now go find more of that for me’; and then there is unsupervised machine learning, which makes things such as email threading possible. The range of possibilities is enormous and includes not only what we can do for litigation, but what we can do in virtually every other area of the practice of law. Increasingly, I think we’re going to see systems that are exclusively operating in the cloud and storing data primarily in the cloud with data available locally for convenience purposes.” For the full conversation with industry veterans George Socha, Derek Miller, Ryan Joyce, and Sarai Schubert, all talking about their earliest days working in legal tech over the past three decades and giving their insights into what they see happening in 2020 and beyond, visit us here: 30 Years of eDiscovery: Industry Veterans Discuss Where We’ve Been & What the Future Holds
