b'Whose jobs are the robots going to take away? It doesn\'t look like lawyers are safe...\\n\\nAn AI just beat top lawyers at their own game\\n\\nFeb 25, 2018\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nA new study, conducted by legal AI platform LawGeex in consultation with law professors from Stanford University, Duke University School of Law, and University of Southern California, pitted twenty experienced lawyers against an AI trained to evaluate legal contracts.\\xa0\\n\\nThe human lawyers achieved, on average, an 85 percent accuracy rate, while the AI achieved 95 percent accuracy. The AI also completed the task in 26 seconds, while the human lawyers took 92 minutes on average. The AI also achieved 100 percent accuracy in one contract, on which the highest-scoring human lawyer scored only 97 percent. In short, the human lawyers were trounced.\\n\\nSo will this cost lawyers their jobs?\\n\\nThe linked article says no:\\n\\n"So does this spell the end of humanity? Not at all. On the contrary, the use of AI can actually help lawyers expedite their work, and free them up to focus on tasks that still require a human brain."\\xa0\\n\\nOn the Other hand\\u2026\\n\\nYes these tools will make existing lawyers more productive, but that doesn\\u2019t mean it won\\u2019t cost lawyers\\u2019 jobs. How many billable hours have already been lost to LegalZoom?\\n\\nWe see something similar happenning with AI\'s outdiagnosing doctors. Will we soon live in a world where we receive some or all of our medical care and legal advice from machine?\\n\\nComputers are already better than doctors at diagnosing some diseases\\n\\nDec 12, 2017\\n\\nNext time: how computers might play a role in diagnosing and treating the biggest killer of them all: aging.\\n\\nWT 412-725'
