40 PEER TO PEER: THE QUARTERLY MAGAZINE OF ILTA | SUMMER 2017 FEATURES Sobots and Analytics in the Future of Legal Discovery technology. Databases are automatically organized by date, near duplicates and similar documents, email threading, social messaging and IoT device. Whenever you are ready, Relexa debriefs you with a breakdown of custodians, date ranges, missing information, considerations for further collection, potential legal issues and odds of winning the suit. If you are deep in the trenches on a case and want to see email messages related to piercing the corporate veil, just ask Relexa, and you will have a container with all documents pertaining to the issue in milliseconds. Do you want to code new incoming data consistently with the existing documents? Just ask Relexa to analyze your previous decisions, propagate coding and show you outliers without coding calls. In this way, aorney time is spent focusing on legal arguments, not siing through data or handling coding calls. On-demand production in Relexa makes things easy with instantaneous analysis of coding and processing of files for presentation to adversaries or investigators. Upon approval by humans, sobots communicate to request and confirm biometric authorization from the receiving party before the production is released. There is no need for physical media or to set up file-sharing. Once released, the production data are instantaneously available for review in the receiving party's sobot. A Symbiotic Future Genie worries, "Wait, this is kind of scary! Will I still be relevant?" Of course! Sobots cannot learn and grow without human guidance; artificial intelligence is only as good as the input that trains the system. Our future sobots will perform repeatable, predictable tasks in discovery. Humans will still train machines and handle complex decision-making. So keep your chin up, Genie, and embrace the change. Our relationship with sobots is symbiotic. Without Relexa's analytics, it will be impossible to navigate the sea of data; and without humans, Relexa will not have a compass. P2P Softbots are employed to analyze our thought processes and apply that knowledge to incoming information to prioritize and guide human review.
