This month's installment of the Toolbox Talk Series explored the use of Generative AI in document review, which as construction lawyers know can be voluminous. Jack Bandlow and Travis Olson from BRG provided an overview of how lawyers can use GenAI to make document review in construction litigation more efficient.
Like other uses of GenAI, it is a tool that is not designed to replace lawyers. Rather it helps eliminate or reduce mundane or tedious tasks that are not the highest and best use of a lawyer's time. The AI-powered document review platforms are designed to recognize patterns in documents and transforms words and text into "vectors" to group concepts with similar meanings. For example, whereas a traditional keyword search for "weather delay" will only return hits on that keyword, a search utilizing vectoring will also search for conceptually similar terms, even if the keyword does not match. These tools can use natural language searches to return results that a responsive to the prompt.
Jack and Travis also discussed the use and creation of prompts to obtain results from AI tools. For example, the prompt can instruct the AI prepare a response in a particular tone and scenario. Additionally, bad prompts yield bad results. A good, well-thought and structured prompt will provide a much better response.
Finally, Jack and Travis discussed using AI agents to automate tasks and how to ensure that client data remains secure and to control file permissions to data.
Thanks to Jack and Travis for an insightful presentation.
