AI Lawyers

I've been reading a science fiction book written by a former colleague which, in part,  explores the impact of AI on society.  This got me thinking about our legal system which led me to an article in Forbes,  Risk Or Revolution: Will AI Replace Lawyers?

The article concludes:

While concerns about AI’s limitations persist, the consensus is clear: AI-driven services like Capita can make legal services more affordable and accessible without replacing human oversight.

Lening’s perspective challenges the future role of lawyers: "Automation isn’t about replacing judgment. It’s about freeing lawyers to focus on what humans do best: empathy, ethics, and innovation. The future isn’t AI versus lawyers—it’s lawyers with AI."

Personally I believe the more AI replaces human lawyers the better, cheaper and more equitable our legal system will become. Much of the problem with out legal system is due to lawyers maximizing their income over justice. This has led to the legal system becoming a major, if not the major, source if crime in the United States. 

I would trust AI to follow the law over human lawyers any day.
