Artificial Intelligence and Lawyers
What is AI?
Technology known as artificial intelligence, or AI, makes it possible for
computers and other devices to mimic human intelligence and problem-solving
skills.
AI is capable of carrying out tasks that would normally require human
intelligence or assistance, either on its own or in conjunction with other
technologies (such as sensors, geolocation, and robotics). A few instances of AI
in the news and in our daily lives are digital assistants, GPS navigation,
driverless cars, and generative AI tools (like Open AI's Chat GPT).
Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that includes machine
learning and deep learning, and is frequently discussed in conjunction with
them. In these fields, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that mimic human
decision-making processes are developed with the ability to "learn" from
available data and produce progressively more accurate classifications or
predictions over time.
Will robots replace lawyers?
AI is surely the future, but technology is not mature enough to understand the
legal aspects. That is true robots can read, summarise, perform research, they
can digest long bodies of text and can develop skills but can they guarantee
emotional support to clients? Understanding? And who will be responsible if they
lose a particular case? Will they be able to understand the client-attorney
relationship?
Confidentiality and security issues:
AI retains information with itself like ChatGPT stores information and use in
other contexts, so there is possibility that they can restore all information
about their clients, which as a result will hamper privacy. Also, robots tend to
spouse nonsense, they are unreliable and our history of self-driving cars shows
that we allow very low margin of error from machines.
Question of liability:
Who is responsible when robo-lawyers give disastrous advice. For instance, if a
robo-lawyer is handling a case and give worst advice to the client, how the
client will held him liable? Because when you buy a legal service, you also buy
insurance, you want the guarantee that someone is accountable for the advice
they give.
A client holds trust in abundance on his/her lawyer, that they will fight for
justice on behalf of them, on the other side lawyers try their best to
understand their client's situation and difficulty and provide them deserved
justice and compensation.
Conclusion:
There's nothing to disturb here. Since there is a lot on the line and we need to
steer the process carefully, it makes sense that the legal community is a little
cautious and conservative. Better services for legal consumers must eventually
follow from these productivity increases, though. This level of technological
advancement should ideally result in consumers getting more for less money.
It will require a significant shift in culture. The legal profession's business
model needs to be completely altered. New technologies are undermining the
billable hour model used by the majority of legal firms, which does not
encourage efficiency. We can't claim that we weren't warned, and while it won't
be simple, it will be worthwhile. We have been discussing this development for a
very long time. We've had time to get ready. It's finally here, at last. It will
sting. There will be a challenging moment of change. Still, there is no doubt
that positive changes will occur in the legal sector. There is enormous
potential to improve access to justice and establish a more reasonably priced
legal sector.
