LONDON: The entrepreneur behind British software company Autonomy has invested in a startup called Luminance that uses artificial intelligence to read documents and speed up the legal process around deals, potentially cutting out some lawyers. 

Mike Lynch, who founded technology investment fund Invoke Capital after leaving Autonomy, said he saw great potential in Luminance, which was set up by Cambridge University students and has worked with lawyers at Slaughter and May to develop software to analyse documents.
