ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE LAW

Taking up the quoting of the article, begun in the previous introduction:

“…For over 50 years, standard computing has always been focused on accuracy and calculation. However, AI improves upon this by adding cognitive machine learning to language and text, thereby answering even the toughest questions before they are asked.”
“Where does the Legal Professional fit in all of this?”
“The lawyer, law student and law firm can all benefit from this technology in the same way we have benefited from other technological advancements like the use of email, increased cyber security and video conferencing. The key to taking advantage of new and emerging technology is to be aware of its existence and its benefits.”
“How can AI be used today practically?
AI has already been in use for some time in the business of law. Law firms that have taken a proactive step toward cyber security have already used AI to predict and prevent computer virus patterns by using advanced AI algorithms in antivirus software. AI has also been used to prevent threats among computer networks between offices that communicate together. We expect that in The Bahamas AI will take a more central role in the operational side of law by answering search queries about case law and court decisions in a minute rather than through hours or days of manual searching.”
“What does this mean for billing?”
[ALWAYS A CRITICAL CONCERN, texokie is given to understand! - the article continues:]
“Central to the discussion of AI is the issue of client billing and whether the
hourly rate would increase due to the machine learning advantage of the legal task or whatever the overall cost would decrease due to less time being used by humans to find the correct answer. All of this has yet to be determined as the variables involved with billing and attorney client work are considerable and extend beyond the mere answering of questions.
“Will the future eventually move toward machine lawyers?”
“The truth is that technology has always proved challenging to any industry. In some cases, it has replaced human work force, for instance, in auto and product manufacturing. However, the Legal Profession as an industry is unique and built by and for – people - real individuals who need to use empathy, compassion, love, drive, commitment and measured generosity – qualities that machines despite their processing speed, cannot replace. No one can predict the future for sure, but we can state for certain that the only way that technology has ever helped humanity is when we commit to learning and growing with it. AI as a technological advancement is like a wave - we cannot stop, it so we must first observe it, then resign to ride it toward the shores of our passions and goals.”

* Texokie muses on what she’s just read: The message seems to be : “Inevitability.” “ Live with it.” “ Adjust.” “ Can’t stop it.” “We/you may not like it, but it is the new normal.” This is definitely the kind of language the Globalists use about WHATEVER they want to cram down our throats.*
*She pauses on the tailings of her dig so far and prepares to go further. Melian definitely snagged her with this one.*

An investigation referred to Justice Department prosecutors by Special Counsel Robert Mueller earlier this year, and looking into possible criminal activity by Clinton-linked Washington insider Tony Podesta and former Obama White House Counsel Greg Craig, is heating up, according to a new report that underscores federal authorities' newly heightened enforcement of laws governing foreign business relationships.
The inquiries center on Podesta, a Democratic lobbyist and co-founder of the onetime lobbying powerhouse known as The Podesta Group; Vin Weber, a former GOP congressman from Minnesota; and Craig, who also worked in the Clinton White House.
The probes had been quiet for months since Mueller referred them to authorities in Manhattan because they fell outside his mandate of determining whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia.
