By now, there’s no remaining doubt that AI will be a significant component of our collective economic and professional future. In a recent research study, Generative AI in Legal 2024, IDC found that 49 percent of government legal teams have increased their use of generative AI over the last two years. And of those who haven’t yet adopted AI in a meaningful way, 61 percent plan to start this year.
This is for good reason: government teams are uniquely tasked with managing massive, ever-growing data volumes under tight deadlines, close scrutiny, and limited budgets.
Finding relevant information quickly when you’re asked to investigate or produce sensitive data is critical, yet manual review is time-consuming and unsustainable—and for many, shifting policy and budget expectations have reached critical mass. AI helps level the playing field, ensuring agencies keep pace with evolving data challenges and modern workflows without falling behind when compared to the private sector’s deep resources.
We announced last week that Relativity aiR for Review is now generally available in RelativityOne Government, helping you meet these demands in new ways. aiR for Review leverages generative AI document review to get to the truth much faster than ever before, with better accuracy, greater consistency, and clear explanations for the AI’s predictions for each document. More than 150 customers (and counting) have already trusted aiR for Review to help them review millions of documents.
At Relativity, it’s our mission to help you organize data, discover the truth, and act on it. RelativityOne Government launched five years ago, built with FedRAMP authorization in mind, to ensure public sector teams have a SaaS platform in which they can work on their projects with unmatched security and data privacy, end-to-end functionality, and the ability to collaborate across agencies. Then and now, we take seriously our responsibility to give you a performant cloud platform that enables your most critical work—and to include the support you need to make the most of it.
This is the first of many aiR-powered tools we’ll bring to the public sector in the coming year, which will further transform your approach to tasks like translations, transcriptions, and more—ultimately saving your team a ton of time and resources. As you begin incorporating generative AI in your agency, our team is here with the resources you need to get your arms around aiR and everything it can do for you.
Empowering the Public Sector with Transformative AI
Why explore aiR for Review? Because aiR doesn’t just give you a small lift in efficiency—it is like outfitting you with the brainpower that traditional resources just don’t allow this early on a case. With aiR, you can review thousands of documents every hour, 24/7/365. It works on weekends and holidays to help you meet the rising demands facing the public sector. It never gets tired or feels unwell. And it provides thoughtful results, grounded in plain language, with clear rationales, considerations, and citations—so you can see why a document matters and refer back to it at any time.
And speaking of time? Working this fast with results of such a high quality simply changes the paradigm of time altogether, allowing you to get insights back to stakeholders far earlier in the process and have greater impact on the outcome of each case.
Bottom line: instead of spending days or weeks finding key evidence, aiR for Review provides immediate insights—with over 90 percent recall and 70-90 percent precision—so you can start thinking more strategically.
As the only FedRAMP-authorized generative AI solution purpose-built for document review, aiR for Review also fits seamlessly into your current workflows. It’s delivered within RelativityOne Government—featuring the end-to-end data management capabilities you need, within the security and flexibility of the cloud.
With that in mind, check out what we’re bringing to RelativityOne Government in the near future:
- [Available Now] aiR for Review: Generative AI for faster document review and deeper insights into data.
- [Coming Late 2025] aiR for Privilege: Automate privilege detection to simplify your efforts to protect sensitive information.
- [Coming Late 2025] aiR for Case Strategy: Analyze your most important documents to identify key facts, dates, and people, helping you prepare for depositions and trial.
We’ve also got some exciting additions further down our roadmap for RelativityOne Government, including Relativity Data Breach Response: AI-powered review to streamline investigations and notification workflows after a cyber incident.
Relativity aiR is a best-in-class solution you can select confidently to scale with you for a multitude of use cases, including litigation, FOIA requests, regulatory investigations, internal investigations, subpoena responses, and more. It will be here to help manage those projects and whatever others lie ahead—while keeping highly sensitive data secure, minimizing the risk of data in motion.
Finally, but perhaps most importantly, we strongly believe that principled AI matters. Transparent, reliable, and responsible AI usage is critical in public sector decision making. We’ve built our generative AI products according to our AI Principles, and with the auditability and explainability that make the results defensible and understandable—ensuring agencies can validate decisions and meet stringent legal and regulatory obligations.
Take Ownership of Your Path Forward
This is a pivotal moment for all of us, especially the public sector. The people ready to drive AI adoption—who understand the potential of AI and can use it effectively and responsibly—stand out.
To help you get off the ground with aiR quickly as well as aid your professional development, our support teams have put together a great library of immersive educational resources. For a limited time, we’re also offering a free Relativity Generative AI Pro exam to US-based government employees (in local, state, and federal entities) who complete the new, hands-on learning lab for aiR for Review by May 2, 2025.
Here are the details:
- Get started by visiting the Relativity Community site for access to Relativity Learning. Once there, enroll in our AI Fluency and Relativity aiR for Review Foundations learning paths for some insightful, self-paced lessons on AI for legal.
- Additionally, you can opt in via this form to receive access to our hands-on aiR for Review Learning Lab. It’ll give you a chance to work with the tool and get a feel for the aiR workflow in a live workspace, and it only takes about 15 minutes to complete. (Public sector employees should select “Government Blog Post” from the “How did you hear about this?” dropdown when completing this form.)
- If you were employed by a US federal, state, or local government agency, as of January 31, 2025, or are currently employed by a US federal, state, or local government agency, and you complete the aiR for Review Learning Lab by May 2, 2025, subject to verification of such employment, Relativity’s certifications team will email you on May 5, 2025. That email will invite you to opt in to receive a voucher for a free Relativity Generative AI Pro exam.
- On top of all that, you can attend an upcoming webinar for a first-hand look at aiR for Review in RelativityOne Government.
- Finally, government employees can also join us for a free, in-person Public Sector AI Workshop in Washington, DC next month. Register to attend here.
As we celebrate the release of aiR for Review in RelativityOne Government, we want to help you prepare for an AI-enabled path forward with the software and learning resources you need to be successful. Software is only as effective as your ability to use it well, both in your specific role and for the betterment of your professional development. We’re here to help you begin building the confidence and understanding that will take you far in the era of AI.
Boost Your Public Sector Career with AI
The endless possibilities of this technology may sound intimidating, but the learning curve for generative AI isn’t as steep as you might think. aiR is designed to be easy to use and immediately powerful, and we have a ton of resources (almost all of which are free) to help you learn the ins and outs of Relativity aiR as quickly as possible.
As you begin to explore, we hope you keep this in mind: though time efficiencies matter, AI is not just about speed; it’s about empowering human intelligence in new ways. At Relativity, we’re here to help you take advantage.
