# natural language processing

Technology that analyzes or generates human language.

Natural language processing appears in search, summarization, extraction, drafting, and classification tools. In a law firm, define what the system is allowed to read, what output is useful, and what review is required. Treat a generated summary as a work product that needs verification, not as a source of truth.
