Artificial Intelligence is here to stay – Yikes! Lawyers are in trouble!

27th July 2022 | Paul Marmor | International, Litigation

Artificial intelligence is here to stay in the legal profession (especially litigation), but the question is who is in charge?

Answer: we guess anyone who can order a pizza on a tablet … relief!  In that case, we’re OK after all – at least we think so …?

That is our takeaway as Richard Susskind, eminent author and Times journalist and IT advisor to the Lord Chief Justice, closed the International Bar Association’s Leadership Academy (hosted by the IBA’s Law Firm Management Committee at King’s College, London) by predicting the decline of today’s professions (including legal), and describing the people and technology that will replace them, as set out in his book: The Future of the Professions.
