Executive Interview: Khalid Al-Kofahi, Head of AI at Thomson Reuters — from aitrends.com

Excerpt:

Can you talk about any new products or services, or innovative work that you’re doing now?

In the last 12 months, we released three major AI-powered products for our customers: Westlaw Edge for our legal customers, Checkpoint Edge for our tax and accounting customers, and in July of this year we released Westlaw Edge Quick Check, an AI-powered document analysis tool to help attorneys write better briefs and motions, as well as defend against briefs and motions from opposing counsel.

If you look at the underlying capabilities in each of these three products, for example, you will see things like document analysis, vertical search, question answering, summarization, and analytics to support data-driven decision makings, and so on. Plenty of opportunities remain in each of these areas, and while I can’t talk about specific products that we are working on, from a capability perspective, these are the kind of capabilities that we’d like to include in many of our products.
