Research shows that many companies within South Africa are showing willingness to embrace Artificial Intelligence (AI) and new technologies to address challenges and opportunities that lay ahead. Experts in the industry have claimed that the use of AI solutions to optimise their operations could yield significant financial benefits.

Tshepo Maphothoma, 2019 GAP ICT winner and Founder of D6 Africa AI has taken full advantage of the growing prospects of the AI industry in South Africa. The Company has developed a legal intelligence technology suite (LITT Suite) that integrates a legal practice management, case management and document analysis system.

“The core innovation of our software suite is the AI (Artificial Intelligence) engine that powers the rest of the advanced features of the application suite, these include: - Legal Document Analysis - Case Classification - Automated Document & Case Summaries - Document Classification & Identification - AI Assisted Legal Research - Time Tracking - Billing Automation - Object Character Recognition” explains Tshepo Maphothoma , founder of D6 Africa AI

Even in its early prototype stage that AI technology promises many features that will take advantage of the AI engine that has been trained on legal material and will give the features accuracy in detecting and classifying legal documents, cases, and more accurate scanning of legal documents directly to word or pdf.

It is undoubtable that this kind of technology could prove to be very useful in the legal industry and possibly in other industries that require a magnitude of research and analysis.
