Proprietary Artificial Intelligence Capabilities Solve Data Challenges Across Entire Document Review Lifecycle

WASHINGTON, March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) today announced that the firm’s Technology segment launched new capabilities within IQ.AI by FTI Technology™, a suite of artificial intelligence solutions that address client issues in investigations, antitrust, data breach and other critical legal and regulatory matters. To address all aspects of document review, these new capabilities include IQ.AI for Review, providing cost savings and accelerated timelines across the document review lifecycle, including first pass review, quality control, privilege and the presentation of key findings.

FTI Technology has deployed IQ.AI for Review for clients worldwide, across numerous types of projects, including cross-border litigation, investigations, antitrust reviews and data breach response. With this offering, FTI Technology’s experts unlock faster and more insightful first-level review workflows compared to other AI-based review solutions. IQ.AI for Review provides powerful results, particularly when applied to challenging document formats, multilanguage content, multimedia files and other materials that have traditionally required manual review.

The new capabilities can optimize privilege classification and create first drafts of privilege logs, perform quality checks and identify challenging data types and personally identifiable information. AI-generated key document summaries, chronologies and timelines also quickly establish context for hot documents. This holistic approach reduces review time and costs and empowers legal teams to uncover critical insights that traditional methods miss, transforming what is often the most time-consuming phase of litigation and investigations into a strategic advantage.

Initially launched in 2024, IQ.AI is a proprietary combination of workflows, services and expertise applied with FTI Technology’s custom-developed tools using numerous large language models, technology partner products, natural language processing and computer vision technologies. These include globally available platforms within Microsoft Azure and AWS Bedrock, enabling FTI Technology’s experts to utilize the most effective large language model for each task and provide flexibility for clients in geographies around the world. Backed by FTI Technology’s significant investments in research, development and an e-discovery applied data science team, IQ.AI helps clients balance innovation, technology performance and risk mitigation for specific applications of AI technologies.

In addition to the launch of IQ.AI for Review, new IQ.AI updates include:

• IQ.AI for Emerging Data Sources: Enhances contextualization and summarization of chat threads, conversations, images such as GIFs and emojis, audio clips, uncommon data types and disparate messages across a variety of cloud applications and collaboration tools through integration with Connect and Universal Messaging Platform, FTI Technology’s proprietary emerging data sources technology. Experts in emerging data sources and digital forensics investigators can also leverage generative AI to summarize and enrich metadata and discover key facts. These capabilities support efficient data processing in a closed environment to mitigate risk, reduce data sets, reveal relevant information quickly and report on initial findings.
  
• IQ.AI for Enrichment: Leveraging optical character recognition, computer vision technologies and a range of large language models, automates the process of reviewing materials that traditionally require manual review. This includes accurately translating and extracting insights from multilingual documents and processing handwritten notes, forms, images, audio recordings, transcriptions and other complex data, all within a unified workflow.
  
• IQ.AI for Contracts: Delivers methodologies for leveraging AI in contract review and analysis to efficiently query large contract populations, identifying risks or business opportunities hidden within agreements. FTI Technology’s contract experts leverage a combination of generative AI, machine learning and analytics capabilities combined with customized workflows to extract key data points to support clients’ challenges across industries, contract types and use cases.
  

“IQ.AI for Review provides an extensive suite of AI capabilities across the document review lifecycle, including first pass review and extending to privilege identification, quality control and solving complex data challenges,” said Sophie Ross, Global Chief Executive Officer of FTI Technology. “In expanding our IQ.AI framework to address document review end-to-end, we’re providing clients with impactful, tested, logical uses of generative AI to enrich their understanding of critical matters and reduce the burden of uncovering information within large document populations. These expanded AI capabilities are a testament to our innovation team’s rapid response to client needs and represent our continued investment in delivering expert-led, reliable, defensible, AI-powered solutions that can be applied holistically or to targeted challenges.”

FTI Technology’s decades-long investment in AI technology and team of digital insights experts, attorneys, data scientists and consultants from across global practices support clients across a broad range of issues where AI use intersects with legal and regulatory risk.
