AI is probably going to take over many simple jobs, but maybe lawyers are on the way out as well. There was a contest that took place last month that pitted 100 lawyers against an AI program called Case Cruncher Alpha. The contestants were given the basic facts of hundreds of PPI mis-selling cases and were asked to predict whether the claim would be allowed. The AI had an accuracy of 86.6% and the lawyers had 66.3% accuracy. Not too shabby for an AI developed by four Cambridge law students. I don't believe an AI is anywhere close to arguing a case in court, but it might be able to do a lot of the up front grunt work for the trial.
Ian Dodd thinks AI may replace some of the grunt work done by junior lawyers and paralegals but no machine can talk to a client or argue in front of a High Court judge. He puts it simply: "The knowledge jobs will go, the wisdom jobs will stay."
