George Socha on the EDRM & AI in Electronic Discovery

The history, current state and the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) is the topic of conversation with George Socha. George currently serves as Senior Vice President of Brand Awareness for e-discovery software company, Reveal Data, but back in 2005, he founded the EDRM along with Tom Gelbmann.

What is the EDRM?

It is a model that outlines the stages of the Electronic Discovery process.  The EDRM discovery stages are:

• Information Governance Identification Preservation and Collection
• Review and Analysis
• Production and Presentation

In the 16 years since the inception of EDRM, the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning is much more prevalent in e-discovery, and as George explains, can be used in nearly every EDRM phase.

Technically Legal is hosted by Chad Main, an attorney and the founder of Percipient, a tech-enabled alternative legal services provider.
