If you have not already felt the burden of unprecedented amounts of data in a volume, variety, and complexity that is unwieldy and mind spinning, you probably haven’t litigated a case in the last few years. Artificial Intelligence already drives data visualization, active learning, and a variety of other tools to address not only the challenges of data overload but also refining and recalibrating the speed, administration, and profitability of legal practice. Now, with an explosion of machine learning and artificial intelligence models becoming more accessible and capable, A.I. is taking over more and more work. A.I. is reaching beyond the realm of data management and eDiscovery solutions and reaching ever closer to the world of brief writing and legal analysis. But is A.I. clearing the way for human lawyers to do higher level work or setting us up for extinction? Will lawyers be replaced by Siri and Alexa during our lifetime and, would that be such a bad idea? Join us for a look at the issues raised by the current A.I. technology, foreseeable trouble to be mindful of in the next phase of technological development, and a robust debate on whether we are headed to a utopia of legal equity where justice is a mere swipe away or a dystopia under the rule of robot masters.
