According to Jomati Consultants LLP, artificial intelligence and robotics will change the entire legal landscape in just over a decade.Tony Williams, the founder of the British-based legal consulting firm, said that law firms will see nearly all their process work handled by artificial intelligence robots. The robotic undertaking will revolutionize the industry, “completely upending the traditional associate leverage model.”“In this report, ‘Civilisation 2030: The Near Future for Law Firms’ we explore what will be the impact on clients and law firms of three key factors that shape the global economy: demographics, the growth of global cities and megacities, as well as the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics into both the industrial and professional sectors. The report closely analysed macro-economic data and key trends then considered how these will develop to 2030.”The report predicts that the artificial intelligence technology will replace all the work involving processing information, along with a wide variety of overturned policies.“AI bots could foreseeably take over any work with a systemic component that involves the processing of information. That includes low-level knowledge economy work, like due diligence, that is currently performed by very junior lawyers.”Williams also said that these knowledge bots would go beyond the retrieval function of today’s “knowledge management” software and work on the material, impacting associate and paralegals majorly.While the report leans heavily toward the artificial intelligence technology, not everyone believes every facet of the legal structure can be automated. Ken Chasse, a lawyer at Barrister & Solicitor for more than 48 years, wrote an independent report in October 2014 that says legal advice cannot be automated, by nature.
Lawyers are basically 10% smarts and 90% emotion-jerkers. Unless if a AI can give the same effect of emotion pulling as a real person can, then they won't be effective. Besides, there are plenty or organizations that will prevent this because everywhere you look there's a lawyer always outside a police station, hospital, or running a garage-made commercial on local TV

Didn't we already talk about this in a prior thread? Low level information gathering and administrative stuff?
